    Resting-state alterations in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia are related to the distribution of monoamine and GABA neurotransmitter systems

    Lisa Hahn, Simon B Eickhoff ... Matthias L Schroeter
    Local brain functional activity reductions in bvFTD follow the distribution of serotonergic, GABAergic, and norepinephrinergic neurotransmitter systems, indicating a selective vulnerability and providing novel insights into the underlying disease mechanisms.

    Resource-rational account of sequential effects in human prediction

    Arthur Prat-Carrabin, Florent Meyniel, Rava Azeredo da Silveira
    A proposed model of optimal inference under cognitive costs accounts for human sequential effects, including subtle patterns of attractive and repulsive influence of past observations, in a binary prediction task across a wide range of stimulus conditions.

    EphrinB2 knockdown in cervical spinal cord preserves diaphragm innervation in a mutant SOD1 mouse model of ALS

    Mark W Urban, Brittany A Charsar ... Angelo C Lepore
    In the SOD1G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), expression of transmembrane signaling molecule ephrinB2 in spinal cord astrocytes contributes to motor neuron damage and loss of diaphragm function.

    Multi-ancestry meta-analysis of host genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis identifies shared genetic architecture

    Haiko Schurz, Vivek Naranbhai ... International Tuberculosis Host Genetics Consortium
    Results from the largest tuberculosis genome-wide association study meta-analysis identified a significant association in the human leukocyte antigen class II region, rs28383206, across multiple populations.

    A population modification gene drive targeting both Saglin and Lipophorin impairs Plasmodium transmission in Anopheles mosquitoes

    Emily I Green, Etienne Jaouen ... Eric Marois
    Strong reduction in malaria transmission by genetically modified mosquitoes is achieved in the laboratory using a dual gene drive that simultaneously propagates an antiparasitic factor and a parasite-detrimental mosquito mutation.

    Neural tube-associated boundary caps are a major source of mural cells in the skin

    Gaspard Gerschenfeld, Fanny Coulpier ... Piotr Topilko
    Neural tube-associated boundary caps are heterogeneous with a non-neural crest-derived subpopulation that may originate from the developing meninges, which gives rise to derivatives that migrate along nerves to detach and differentiate into skin mural cells.

    Probe-free optical chromatin deformation and measurement of differential mechanical properties in the nucleus

    Benjamin Seelbinder, Susan Wagner ... Moritz Kreysing
    Localized temperature gradients used as a novel method of active micro-theology that is non-invasive and probe-free, to investigate material responses of cell departments such as the different compartments of a nucleus displaying distinct material properties.

    A preclinical model of THC edibles that produces high-dose cannabimimetic responses

    Anthony English, Fleur Uittenbogaard ... Benjamin Bruce Land
    Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-E-gel enables robust preclinical study of voluntary THC consumption in mice, revealing sex-dependent psychotomimetic effects that are valuable for understanding cannabimimetic responses.

    Single-cell sequencing highlights heterogeneity and malignant progression in actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

    Dan-Dan Zou, Ya-Zhou Sun ... Xin Li
    A single-cell RNA profiling analysis has delineated the molecular changes driving the progression from actinic keratosis to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

    Binding and sequestration of poison frog alkaloids by a plasma globulin

    Aurora Alvarez-Buylla, Marie-Therese Fischer ... Lauren A O'Connell
    Alkaloid-binding globulin (ABG) is a novel protein discovered in the plasma of poison frogs that transports many alkaloids, with structural homology to mammalian hormone carriers and amphibian biliverdin-binding serpin.
