    Untangling stability and gain modulation in cortical circuits with multiple interneuron classes

    Hannah Bos, Christoph Miehl ... Brent Doiron
    In recurrently connected cortical networks with different inhibitory neuron subtypes, circuit modulations can increase neuronal gain without compromising network stability.

    Antagonist actions of CMK-1/CaMKI and TAX-6/calcineurin along the C. elegans thermal avoidance circuit orchestrate adaptation of nociceptive response to repeated stimuli

    Martina Rudgalvyte, Zehan Hu ... Dominique A Glauser
    Phosphoproteomics identifies diverse CaM kinase substrates, while genetic dissection reveals an unexpected antagonistic interaction with calcineurin signaling that operates in distinct neurons to regulate thermo-nociception in Caenorhabditis elegans.

    DNA replication in primary hepatocytes without the six-subunit ORC

    Róża K Przanowska, Yuechuan Chen ... Anindya Dutta
    Mammalian cells are capable of loading MCM2-7 to support DNA replication in the absence of ORC to permit extensive DNA replication in vivo.

    Engineering cardiolipin binding to an artificial membrane protein reveals determinants for lipid-mediated stabilization

    Mia L Abramsson, Robin A Corey ... Michael Landreh
    Bulding a cardiolipin binding site into a computationally designed transmembrane protein uncovers how proteins can recognize specific lipids and use them to regulate their function.

    Transcriptome profiling of tendon fibroblasts at the onset of embryonic muscle contraction reveals novel force-responsive genes

    Pavan K Nayak, Arul Subramanian, Thomas F Schilling
    Muscle contraction forces shape tenocyte gene expression, with sequencing and spatial analyses revealing unique force-dependent gene regulation patterns, suggesting tenocytes fine-tune tendon matrix in response to varied mechanical cues.

    Leveraging place field repetition to understand positional versus nonpositional inputs to hippocampal field CA1

    William Hockeimer, Ruo-Yah Lai ... James J Knierim
    Place cells that show repeating place fields in geometrically similar locations of an environment modulate their firing rates differently in each field based on movement direction.

    An atypical basement membrane forms a midline barrier during left-right asymmetric gut development in the chicken embryo

    Cora Demler, John C Lawlor ... Natasza A Kurpios
    A novel midline barrier is discovered in the developing gut, highlighting its dynamics and function, with broad implications for patterning mechanisms, extracellular matrix significance, and laterality disorders.
    1. Neuroscience

    Olfactory ensheathing cells from adult female rats are hybrid glia that promote neural repair

    Patricia E Phelps, Sung Min Ha ... Xia Yang
    To better understand how olfactory ensheathing cells modify spinal cord injury sites, single-cell RNA-sequencing was used to identify five OEC subtypes, progenitors, and novel genes associated with axonal outgrowth.

    A circadian clock drives behavioral activity in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and provides a potential mechanism for seasonal timing

    Lukas Hüppe, Dominik Bahlburg ... Bettina Meyer
    Behavioral experiments provide strong evidence that krill swimming behavior is controlled by biological clocks throughout the year, revealing a key mechanism for adaptation to high-latitude habitats.
