    Structural rather than catalytic role for mitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplexes

    Michele Brischigliaro, Alfredo Cabrera-Orefice ... Erika Fernández-Vizarra
    Inducing the formation of mitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplexes in Drosophila melanogaster, where they are normally absent, does not have any noticeable impact in the function of the respiratory chain.

    Neuromodulation of striatal D1 cells shapes BOLD fluctuations in anatomically connected thalamic and cortical regions

    Marija Markicevic, Oliver Sturman ... Nicole Wenderoth
    The structural characteristics of a circuit and its hierarchical dimensions are shown to influence regional time-series dynamics after targeted cellular-level manipulations.

    The DBL-1/TGF-β signaling pathway tailors behavioral and molecular host responses to a variety of bacteria in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Bhoomi Madhu, Mohammed Farhan Lakdawala, Tina L Gumienny
    The C. elegans canonical DBL1/TGFβ signaling pathway is not only regulated in response to bacterial challenges, but also appropriately tailors behaviors and molecular immune responses to bacterial challenges, and animals lacking DBL1 respond to specific bacteria as more harmful.

    Multimodal analysis of methylomics and fragmentomics in plasma cell-free DNA for multi-cancer early detection and localization

    Van Thien Chi Nguyen, Trong Hieu Nguyen ... Le Son Tran
    SPOT-MAS (screening for the presence of tumor by methylation and size) is an affordable and effective multi-cancer early detection test analyzing multiple features of circulating tumor DNA.

    An observational treatment study of metacognition in anxious-depression

    Celine Ann Fox, Chi Tak Lee ... Claire M Gillan
    Improvement in levels of anxious-depression corresponds with increased confidence in performance among individuals receiving mental health treatment within a large longitudinal dataset.

    RNA-binding deficient TDP-43 drives cognitive decline in a mouse model of TDP-43 proteinopathy

    Julie C Necarsulmer, Jeremy M Simon ... Todd J Cohen
    Impairing TDP-43 RNA-binding capacity through a single acetylation-mimic mutation alters TDP-43 function and recapitulates biochemical, molecular, and behavioral features of sporadic TDP-43 proteinopathies, thus providing opportunities for new research into pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

    Status and physiological significance of circulating adiponectin in the very old and centenarians: an observational study

    Takashi Sasaki, Yoshinori Nishimoto ... Yasumichi Arai
    Circulating high-molecular-weight (cHMW) adiponectin levels increased with age until centenarians, and the contribution of known major factors associated with cHMW adiponectin levels including BMI varied with age, suggesting that its physiological significance also varies with age in the oldest old.

    Selection and the direction of phenotypic evolution

    François Mallard, Bruno Afonso, Henrique Teotónio
    Predicting multivariate phenotypic evolution.

    Scavenger receptor endocytosis controls apical membrane morphogenesis in the Drosophila airways

    Ana Sofia Pinheiro, Vasilios Tsarouhas ... Christos Samakovlis
    During tracheal morphogenesis, the scavenger receptor Emp senses and responds to luminal cargo levels by initiating apical membrane endocytosis along the longitudinal tube axis to restrict airway elongation.

    Tyramine and its Amtyr1 receptor modulate attention in honey bees (Apis mellifera)

    Joseph S Latshaw, Reece E Mazade ... Brian Smith
    Genetic variation in a biogenic amines receptor underlies a means of gain control for nonassociative learning and hence an important form of attention that is the basis for tradeoffs in foraging in a social collective.
