    Structure transfer and consolidation in visual implicit learning

    Dominik Garber, József Fiser
    Sleep is essential for consolidating implicitly acquired perceptual knowledge that enables the knowledge transfer effect via newly learned structured information observed in prior studies of explicit learning.

    Prophage regulation of Shewanella fidelis 3313 motility and biofilm formation with implications for gut colonization dynamics in Ciona robusta

    Ojas Natarajan, Susanne L Gibboney ... Larry J Dishaw
    Deleting SfPat prophage reduces Shewanella fidelis motility, increases biofilms, changes pdeB expression and spatial retention in Ciona gut, while Ciona VCBP-C binding to the WT strain results in reduced expression of viral capsid proteins without inducing SOS, indicating tripartite interactions.

    The success of artificial selection for collective composition hinges on initial and target values

    Juhee Lee, Wenying Shou, Hye Jin Park
    Mathematical modeling uncovers how initial and target compositions limit microbial community selection, as inter-community selection clashes with intra-community selection like a rafter battling a waterfall.

    SETD2 suppresses tumorigenesis in a KRASG12C-driven lung cancer model, and its catalytic activity is regulated by histone acetylation

    Ricardo J Mack, Natasha M Flores ... Or Gozani
    Genetic and biochemical studies show that SETD2 is tumor suppressive in a lung cancer mouse model and SETD2 methylation activity in vitro is regulated by histone acetylation.

    Horizontally transferred cell-free chromatin particles function as autonomous ‘satellite genomes’ and vehicles for transposable elements within host cells

    Soumita Banerjee, Soniya Sanjay Shende ... Indraneel Mittra
    Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.

    Crosslinking by ZapD drives the assembly of short FtsZ filaments into toroidal structures in solution

    Adrián Merino-Salomón, Jonathan Schneider ... Germán Rivas
    Promoting FtsZ toroidal polymer formation by ZapD offers new insights into stabilizing the bacterial division ring.

    The general version of Hamilton’s rule

    Matthijs van Veelen
    The flexibility of the general version of Hamilton's rule allows the rule to match the complexity of the model of social behaviour, or the complexity implied by the data.

    Policy shaping based on the learned preferences of others accounts for risky decision-making under social observation

    HeeYoung Seon, Dongil Chung
    Simulating others' preferences underlies riskier choices when being observed, driven by beliefs about observers' risk attitudes and supported by TPJ–dmPFC connectivity.

    Gene regulatory mechanisms guiding bifurcation of inhibitory and excitatory neuron lineages in the mouse anterior brainstem

    Sami Kilpinen, Lassi Virtanen ... Juha Partanen
    Changes of the chromatin structure suggests how the fate selector transcription factors are activated and how they guide differentiation of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons in the anterior brainstem.

    Sequence action representations contextualize during early skill learning

    Debadatta Dash, Fumiaki Iwane ... Leonardo G Cohen
    When learning a new skill, neural representations of individual actions rapidly incorporate contextual information pertaining to the encompassing skill sequence-primarily during rest breaks interleaved with practice.
