    Polyphosphate discriminates protein conformational ensembles more efficiently than DNA promoting diverse assembly and maturation behaviors

    Saloni Goyal, Divya Rajendran ... Athi N Naganathan
    Polyphosphate, a universal stress response regulator, binds distinctively to different starting ensembles of the same protein leading to either condensates or aggregates that in turn can solubilize or further aggregate, showcasing their ability to finely control the assembly process.

    The microbiome interacts with the circadian clock and dietary composition to regulate metabolite cycling in the Drosophila gut

    Yueliang Zhang, Sara B Noya ... Amita Sehgal
    The Drosophila microbiome regulates the cycling of gut metabolites in a circadian clock and diet-dependent manner.

    Acquisition of auditory discrimination mediated by different processes through two distinct circuits linked to the lateral striatum

    Susumu Setogawa, Takashi Okauchi ... Kazuto Kobayashi
    Two lateral striatal subregions integrate the acquisition of stimulus-based decision-making in spatiotemporally and functionally different manners, challenging the prior model through a dominance change from the associative to sensorimotor subregions.

    Ultraslow serotonin oscillations in the hippocampus delineate substates across NREM and waking

    Claire Cooper, Daniel Parthier ... Dietmar Schmitz
    The fine-tuning of mutual inhibition and disinhibition of sleep-regulating neurons and also the memory consolidation that occurs during NREM sleep are controlled by oscillations in serotonin levels.

    Bacteriophage infection drives loss of β-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

    My Tran, Angel J Hernandez Viera ... Charlie Y Mo
    In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, evolution of bacteriophage resistance causes trade-offs that re-sensitize the bacteriato β-lactam antibiotics.
