    Physiological roles of endocytosis and presynaptic scaffold in vesicle replenishment at fast and slow central synapses

    Satyajit Mahapatra, Tomoyuki Takahashi
    Physiologically, vesicle replenishment at the fast calyx synapse requires both fast-endocytosis and scaffold machinery to support rapid neurotransmission, whereas at the slow hippocampal CA1 synapse only endocytosis is necessary.

    The impact of surgery and oncological treatment on risk of type 2 diabetes onset in patients with colorectal cancer: nationwide cohort study in Denmark

    Caroline Krag, Maria Saur Svane ... Tinne Laurberg
    Treatment of colorectal cancer with colonic resection compared with rectal resection results in sligthly increased T2D risk, whereas chemotherapy treatment does not impact risk of developing T2D.

    Emergence of brain-like mirror-symmetric viewpoint tuning in convolutional neural networks

    Amirhossein Farzmahdi, Wilbert Zarco ... Tal Golan
    Mirror-symmetric view tuning in the macaque AL face patch can be explained by the spatial pooling of learned reflection-equivariant representations.

    Bacterial vampirism mediated through taxis to serum

    Siena J Glenn, Zealon Gentry-Lear ... Arden Baylink
    Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.

    Aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote chondrocyte apoptosis and extracullar matrix degradation in hemophilic arthropathy via AKT signaling

    Jiali Chen, Qinghe Zeng ... Hongting Jin
    Alterations of DNA methylation were associated with articular cartilage degeneration in hemophilic arthropathy, and aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote blood-induced chondrocyte apoptosis by regulating AKT activation.

    SMAD4 promotes somatic-germline contact during murine oocyte growth

    Sofia Granados-Aparici, Qin Yang, Hugh J Clarke
    Depletion of the TGFβ signal-transducer, SMAD4, in granulosa cells of growing follicles reduces the number of filopodia, termed transzonal projections, that stably attach to and mediate communication with the oocyte.
    1. Neuroscience

    Genetically defined nucleus incertus neurons differ in connectivity and function

    Emma D Spikol, Ji Cheng ... Marnie E Halpern
    Transgenic zebrafish generated by targeted genomic integration distinguish neuronal subtypes in the nucleus incertus that differ in their connections and functional properties.
    1. Neuroscience

    Visual working memories are abstractions of percepts

    Ziyi Duan, Clayton E Curtis
    Working memory representations are not hard copies of sensory information, even in early visual cortex, but can be recoded into more abstract and goal-directed formats aligned to behavioral goals.

    Neutralizing gut-derived lipopolysaccharide as a novel therapeutic strategy for severe leptospirosis

    Xufeng Xie, Xi Chen ... Yongguo Cao
    Gut dysbiosis is involved in severe leptospirosis that is related to translocated microbiota-derived lipopolysaccharide.

    Fetal growth delay caused by loss of non-canonical imprinting is resolved late in pregnancy and culminates in offspring overgrowth

    Ruby Oberin, Sigrid Petautschnig ... Patrick S Western
    Growth-delayed offspring generated from eggs that lacked normal epigenetic programming exhibited a remarkable capacity to undergo late gestational fetal growth recovery, despite inefficient placental function.
