    Linking germline telomere removal to global programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena genome differentiation

    Kohei Nagao, Alix Lemoine ... Kazufumi Mochizuki
    Tetrahymena germline chromosome ends contain germline-limited sequences that are removed by chromosome breakage, a critical step for programmed DNA elimination of other germline-limited sequences and successful sexual reproduction.

    A natural experiment in Kenya reveals durable immunosuppressive effects of early childhood malaria: a longitudinal cohort study

    Mercy S Safari, Timothy O Makori ... Charles J Sande
    Early-life malaria exposure leaves a durable immunological imprint associated with reduced antibody responses to unrelated infections and vaccines.

    Human cerebellum and ventral tegmental area interact during extinction of learned fear

    Enzo Nio, Patrick Pais Pereira ... Dagmar Timmann
    The cerebellum and ventral tegmental area interact during unexpected omissions of aversive outcomes in humans, supporting a role for reward-like prediction error signaling in fear extinction learning.

    Cytoplasmic circular dsDNA is a key constituent of stress granules

    Natalia A Demeshkina, Adrian R Ferré-D'Amaré
    Extrachromosomal circular DNA has been identified as a novel component of stress granule cores, indicating its essential involvement in eukaryotic stress response pathways at the level of protein synthesis.

    Experimental verification of the error minimization theory using non-standard genetic codes constructed in vitro

    Ryota Miyachi, Norikazu Ichihashi
    The in vitro experiments that used the artificial genetic codes tested here did not provide support for the error minimization theory.
    1. Neuroscience

    Anterior cingulate cortex monitors action state and action content in complex associative learning

    Wenqiang Huang, Arron F Hall ... Dong V Wang
    ACC contains specialized neurons that sustain rich action-relevant information after action execution, enabling prolonged action monitoring, and supporting complex associative linking across events.

    The targeted cytosolic degradation of class I histone deacetylases is essential for efficient alphaherpesvirus replication

    Sheng-Li Ming, Meng-Hua Du ... Bei-Bei Chu
    Alphaherpesviruses hijack host epigenetic regulation by promoting HDAC1/2 nuclear export and degradation to activate the DNA damage response, revealing new antiviral therapeutic targets.

    How attention simplifies mental representations for planning

    Jason da Silva Castanheira, Christina Chang He ... Stephen M Fleming
    Spatial attention controls the information people become aware of and, in turn, incorporate into simplified perceptual representations for use in multi-step planning.

    The microtubule-binding protein EML3 is required for mammalian embryonic growth and cerebral cortical development, and Eml3 null mice are a model of cobblestone brain malformation

    Isabelle Carrier, Eduardo Diez ... Roderick McInnes
    Absence of EML3 in mice leads to delayed embryonic development, small size, perinatal lethality, and the over-migration of neuroblasts due to a defective pial basement membrane.

    Theta beta ratio in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder using a multiverse analysis

    Dawid Strzelczyk, Andrea Vetsch, Nicolas Langer
    Individual alpha peak frequency and aperiodic neural activity shape theta-beta ratio estimates, limiting their value as an ADHD biomarker.
