    Two time scales of adaptation in human learning rates

    Jonas Simoens, Senne Braem ... Tom Verguts
    Humans adapt learning rates on both a fast and a slow time scale, and the central orbitofrontal cortex may represent the slow time scale.

    Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-mediated fast and coordinated Ca²+ responses regulate NF-κB activation

    Fangrui Guo, Roberto Ornelas Guevara ... Guy Tran Van Nhieu
    Through low levels of extracellular ATP, EPEC induces small, rapid and coordinated Ca2+ responses in epithelial cells, a yet unreported pattern, that down-regulate inflammation at the onset of infection.

    The adaptive landscapes of three global Escherichia coli transcriptional regulators

    Cauã Antunes Westmann, Leander Goldbach, Andreas Wagner
    Across three global Escherichia coli regulators, identical starting sequences can evolve toward many distinct strong-binding peaks, with chance, historical contingency, and evolutionary bias shaping which outcomes prevail.

    Single-cell characterization of anterior segment development in the mouse reveals the cell types, pathways, and signals driving formation of the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal

    Revathi Balasubramanian, Nicholas Tolman ... Simon WM John
    High-resolution single-cell transcriptomics reveals the molecular programs and signaling networks driving Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork development, establishing a foundation for understanding glaucoma pathogenesis.

    Quantitative computerized analysis demonstrates strongly compartmentalized tissue deformation patterns underlying mammalian heart tube formation

    Morena Raiola, Miquel Sendra Sendra ... Miguel Torres
    A computational pipeline leverages mammalian heart development videos to extract tissue deformation patterns and generate a virtual fate map tool that provides new insights into cardiac morphogenesis.

    Reactive oxygen detoxification contributes to Mycobacterium abscessus antibiotic survival

    Nicholas A Bates, Ronald Rodriguez ... Bennett H Penn
    Antibiotics that inhibit translation cause a burst in reactive oxygen species, and these must be detoxified by factors such as KatG for cells to survive.

    Organization of circuits linking descending input to motor output in the Drosophila Male Adult Nerve Cord connectome

    Han SJ Cheong, Katharina Eichler ... Gwyneth M Card
    Circuit analyses of synaptic connectivity in networks connecting descending and motor neurons in the Drosophila Male Adult Nerve Cord connectome reveal the modular network organization of descending to motor pathways.

    Serial dependence predicts generalization in perceptual learning

    Noga Pinchuk-Yacobi, Dov Sagi, Yoram S Bonneh
    A single temporal integration process links momentary perceptual biases to the generalization of learned skills, providing a unifying account of specificity versus flexibility in human learning.

    Neural categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages

    Guo Zheng, Shihui Han
    Explaining the neural mechanisms underlying language-based, spontaneous categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages by combining electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and a repetition suppression paradigm.

    Cluster size determines internal structure of transcription factories in human cells

    Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro ... Davide Marenduzzo
    In a polymer model of chromatin that explicitly incorporates different types of transcription factors, both specialised and mixed factories emerge naturally, with their composition governed by their size.
