    Partitioning changes in ecosystem productivity by effects of species interactions in biodiversity experiments

    Jing Tao, Charles A Nock ... Ji Zheng
    A novel approach has been developed to partition the net biodiversity effect into components associated with positive, negative, and competitive species interactions.

    Chronic stress impairs autoinhibition in neurons of the locus coeruleus to increase asparagine endopeptidase activity

    Hiroki Toyoda, Doyun Kim ... Youngnam Kang
    Chronic stress impairs the autoinhibition in locus coeruleus neurons by inducing the internalization of α2A adrenaline receptors, which causes their overexcitation and consequently induces their degeneration by producing active asparagine endopeptidase.

    Reassessing the link between adiposity and head and neck cancer: a Mendelian randomization study

    Fernanda Morales Berstein, Jasmine Khouja ... Rebecca C Richmond
    Adiposity does not play a major role in head and neck cancer risk.

    Megakaryocytes assemble a three-dimensional cage of extracellular matrix that controls their maturation and anchoring to the vascular niche

    Claire Masson, Cyril Scandola ... Anita Eckly
    Megakaryocytes form a 3D cage of laminin and collagen IV that stabilizes them within their vascular niche, while β1/β3 integrins and MMP are key regulators that assist megakaryocyte maturation and intravasation.

    Premature vision drives aberrant development of response properties in primary visual cortex

    Sophie V Griswold, Stephen D Van Hooser
    Introducing premature visual experience by opening the closed eyelids early in ferrets caused many cells in the primary visual cortex to mature improperly.

    Bayesian meta-analysis reveals the mechanistic role of slow oscillation-spindle coupling in sleep-dependent memory consolidation

    Thea Ng, Eunsol Noh, Rebecca MC Spencer
    Strong and temporally precise coupling between frontal slow oscillations and fast spindles consistently predicts memory retention across conditions, supporting its role as a fundamental mechanism in sleep-dependent memory consolidation.

    High-content high-resolution microscopy and deep learning-assisted analysis reveals host and bacterial heterogeneity during Shigella infection

    Ana Teresa López-Jiménez, Dominik Brokatzky ... Serge Mostowy
    High-content high-resolution microscopy coupled with deep learning-based analysis reveals novel phenotypes at the single-cell level during Shigella infection.

    Balancing stability and flexibility when reshaping archaeal membranes

    Miguel Amaral, Felix Frey ... Anđela Šarić
    Archaeal cells mix single-headed and double-headed lipids to construct resilient but flexible membranes to help them survive in extreme environments.

    Distributed subthreshold representation of sharp wave-ripples by hilar mossy cells

    Ayako Ouchi, Taro Toyoizumi ... Yuji Ikegaya
    Machine learning with whole-cell patch-clamp and local field potential recordings reveals that synaptic responses from five mossy cells, despite their limited population, can significantly reconstruct about 30% of the total hippocampal sharp wave-ripples, highlighting efficient distributed coding within subthreshold activities.

    Social experience shapes fighting strategies in Drosophila

    Can Gao, Mingze Ma ... Yufeng Pan
    Social enrichment increases the less-frequent high-intensity aggressive tussling and decreases the low-intensity aggressive lunging via distinct sensory and central neurons.
