    Multiple dynamic interactions from basal ganglia direct and indirect pathways mediate action selection

    Hao Li, Xin Jin
    Experimental data and computational simulations reveal a new functional model, that is 'Triple-control' for the basal ganglia pathways in action selection.

    Long-timescale anti-directional rotation in Drosophila optomotor behavior

    Omer Mano, Minseung Choi ... Damon A Clark
    When walking flies are shown bright, high-contrast rotating visual stimuli, they begin to turn in the direction opposite the rotation, showing that optomotor turning behavior contains rich, stimulus-dependent dynamics.

    Tetraose steroidal glycoalkaloids from potato provide resistance against Alternaria solani and Colorado potato beetle

    Pieter J Wolters, Doret Wouters ... Vivianne GAA Vleeshouwers
    Chemical modifications of steroidal glycoalkaloids of potato can cause strong resistance against the necrotrophic early blight fungus as well as the Colorado potato beetle.

    Different rules for binocular combination of luminance flicker in cortical and subcortical pathways

    Federico G Segala, Aurelio Bruno ... Daniel H Baker
    Binocular combination of luminance signals exhibits strong interocular suppression in pathways governing the pupil response, and weak interocular suppression in cortical pathways subserving perception.

    A pH-sensitive switch activates virulence in Salmonella

    Dasvit Shetty, Linda J Kenney
    A single conserved residue – histidine 12 – confers pH-sensitive DNA binding to the Salmonella Typhimurium SPI-2 transcriptional regulator SsrB, thereby regulating Salmonella virulence.

    Mitochondrial defects caused by PARL deficiency lead to arrested spermatogenesis and ferroptosis

    Enrico Radaelli, Charles-Antoine Assenmacher ... Marco Spinazzi
    Mitochondrial functional and structural defects caused by PARL deficiency lead to arrested spermatogenesis and germ cell ferroptosis.

    Engineering multifunctional rhizosphere probiotics using consortia of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens transposon insertion mutants

    Jingxuan Li, Chunlan Yang ... Zhong Wei
    Increasing the intra-species phenotypic diversity of a plant-beneficial bacterium effectively improves probiotic consortium functioning and plant growth promotion in agricultural systems.

    Brain structure and function link to variation in biobehavioral dimensions across the psychopathological continuum

    Jasper van Oort, Alberto Llera ... Philip FP van Eijndhoven
    The multimodal linked independent component analysis promotes a more integrative understanding of transdiagnostic mechanisms of psychopathology.

    Carotenoid assembly regulates quinone diffusion and the Roseiflexus castenholzii reaction center-light harvesting complex architecture

    Jiyu Xin, Yang Shi ... Xiaoling Xu
    Investigations of the reaction center (RC)-light harvesting (LH) complex from an ancient chlorosome-less anoxygenic phototroph Roseiflexus castenholzii reveal the structural basis by which carotenoids assembly regulates the architecture and quinone exchange of bacterial RC-LH complex.

    CRB3 navigates Rab11 trafficking vesicles to promote γTuRC assembly during ciliogenesis

    Bo Wang, Zheyong Liang ... Peijun Liu
    The apical polarity protein CRB3 is crucial for regulating vesicle trafficking in γ-tubulin ring complex assembly during ciliogenesis and cilium-related Hedgehog and Wnt signaling pathways in tumorigenesis.
