    Osteoblast-intrinsic defect in glucose metabolism impairs bone formation in type II diabetic male mice

    Fangfang Song, Won Dong Lee ... Fanxin Long
    Osteoblast glucose metabolism is impaired in a mouse model for type II diabetes and can be boosted pharmacologically or genetically to alleviate diabetic osteopenia.

    VO2max prediction based on submaximal cardiorespiratory relationships and body composition in male runners and cyclists: a population study

    Szczepan Wiecha, Przemysław Seweryn Kasiak ... Andrzej Klusiewicz
    VO2max in endurance athletes can be accurately predicted by the submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing measurements but relying solely on somatic variables allows limited accuracy, which is especially important for physicians and fitness practitioners for proper health and training status monitoring.

    On the normative advantages of dopamine and striatal opponency for learning and choice

    Alana Jaskir, Michael J Frank
    A computational model of the opponent neural architecture the basal ganglia, in tandem with adaptive dopamine modulation, exhibits robust advantages over traditional learning algorithms and ties together seemingly aberrant behavioral patterns resulting from dopamine and environmental manipulations across species.
    1. Neuroscience

    Early myelination involves the dynamic and repetitive ensheathment of axons which resolves through a low and consistent stabilization rate

    Adam R Almeida, Wendy B Macklin
    Oligodendrocytes iteratively wrap and unwrap the same domain of an axon multiple times during development, which likely impacts myelin sheath stabilization.

    Dynamic fibronectin assembly and remodeling by leader neural crest cells prevents jamming in collective cell migration

    William Duncan Martinson, Rebecca McLennan ... Philip K Maini
    Data-driven mathematical modeling suggests that leading neural crest cells in a moving stream can robustly communicate with trailing cells by remodeling their extracellular matrix, thereby enabling long-distance collective migration.

    Environment- and epigenome-wide association study of obesity in ‘Children of 1997’ birth cohort

    Jie Zhao, Bohan Fan ... C Mary Schooling
    The comprehensive assessment on environmental factors and epigenetics with obesity provides novel insights into potentially modifiable factors related to obesity at the outset and the end of puberty, with close relevance to health policy and public health.

    Coevolutionary dynamics via adaptive feedback in collective-risk social dilemma game

    Linjie Liu, Xiaojie Chen, Attila Szolnoki
    The two-way coupling between collective actions and risk is essential to avoid the tragedy of the commons.

    Origin of wiring specificity in an olfactory map revealed by neuron type–specific, time-lapse imaging of dendrite targeting

    Kenneth Kin Lam Wong, Tongchao Li ... Liqun Luo
    Advanced genetics and imaging reveal wiring logic underlying the olfactory map organization in the developing fruit fly brain, and strategies employed by projection neurons to target dendrites to specific locations in a timely manner.

    Formation and three-dimensional architecture of Leishmania adhesion in the sand fly vector

    Ryuji Yanase, Flávia Moreira-Leite ... Jack D Sunter
    Using advanced volume electron microscopy, the ultrastructural and spatial organisation of Leishmania parasites strongly adhered to the gut of its sand fly vector was defined.

    Human DUX4 and mouse Dux interact with STAT1 and broadly inhibit interferon-stimulated gene induction

    Amy E Spens, Nicholas A Sutliff ... Stephen J Tapscott
    The developmental transcription factor DUX4 interacts with STAT1 and broadly suppresses expression of IFNγ-stimulated genes.
