    Stable sequential dynamics in prefrontal cortex represents subjective estimation of time

    Yiting Li, Wenqu Yin ... Baoming Li
    Time-related sequential activities in prefrontal cortex exhibit stable coding over weeks, while representations of other variables are dynamic, suggesting that neural sequences are consisted of unique group of neurons.

    Recurrent disruption of tumour suppressor genes in cancer by somatic mutations in cleavage and polyadenylation signals

    Yaroslav Kainov, Fursham Hamid, Eugene V Makeyev
    Somatic mutations frequently disrupt cleavage and polyadenylation signals in tumour suppressor genes in human cancers, likely contributing to tumour progression.

    Impaired myofibroblast proliferation is a central feature of pathologic post-natal alveolar simplification

    Imran S Khan, Christopher Molina ... Dean Sheppard
    Reduced lung myofibroblast proliferation is a unifying feature in multiple models of developmental emphysema and inhibition of myofibroblast proliferation is sufficient to cause this pathology.

    Malaria parasites require a divergent heme oxygenase for apicoplast gene expression and biogenesis

    Amanda Mixon Blackwell, Yasaman Jami-Alahmadi ... Paul A Sigala
    Plasmodium parasites have repurposed the heme oxygenase scaffold from its canonical heme-degrading function to fulfill an essential and adaptive role in gene expression within the apicoplast organelle.

    Ligand-coupled conformational changes in a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel revealed by time-resolved transition metal ion FRET

    Pierce Eggan, Sharona E Gordon, William N Zagotta
    Time-resolved tmFRET revealed structural and energetic changes induced by ligand binding with full agonist cAMP and partial agonist cGMP in the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain of the bacterial ion channel SthK.

    SLAM/SAP signaling regulates discrete γδ T cell developmental checkpoints and shapes the innate-like γδ TCR repertoire

    Somen K Mistri, Brianna M Hilton ... Jonathan E Boyson
    The SLAM/SAP signaling pathway regulates both γδ T cell developmental programming and γδ/αβ T cell lineage commitment.

    Tissue-resident natural killer cells support survival in pancreatic cancer through promotion of cDC1-CD8 T activity

    Simei Go, Constantinos Demetriou ... Eric O Neill
    Tissue-resident natural killer cells are important mediators of CD8 T responses in human cancers and these cells can be harnessed to increase immunity against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

    Male rats emit aversive 44-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations during prolonged Pavlovian fear conditioning

    Krzysztof Hubert Olszyński, Rafał Polowy ... Robert Kuba Filipkowski
    When exposed to prolonged stressful stimulation, rats start to emit long, frequency-unmodulated 44-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations, usually within the 35–50 kHz range, along with, previously described, long and unmodulated 22-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations.

    Lipid discovery enabled by sequence statistics and machine learning

    Priya M Christensen, Jonathan Martin ... Kelli L Palmer
    A previously unknown lipid modification by a bacterial antibiotic resistance enzyme was identified through the analysis of a family of antibiotic resistance enzyme sequences with a machine learning approach.

    Semantic relatedness proactively benefits learning, memory, and interdependence across episodes

    Kelly A Bennion, Jade Phong ... James W Antony
    Increasing semantic relationships with old information accelerates learning and enhances memory for new information and increases the likelihood of both old and new information being recalled together.
