    In silico design and validation of high-affinity RNA aptamers for SARS-CoV-2 comparable to neutralizing antibodies

    Yanqing Yang, Lulu Qiao ... Ruhong Zhou
    Computer-Aided Aptamer Modeling and Optimization (CAAMO) enables structure-guided RNA aptamer affinity maturation, producing a SARS-CoV-2 RBD (receptor binding domain) binder that rivals neutralizing antibodies and retains predicted activity across variants.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    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.

    Comparing the outputs of intramural and extramural grants funded by National Institutes of Health

    Xiang Zheng, Qiyao Yang ... B Ian Hutchins
    Funding mechanisms impact the cost effectiveness of the science conducted, as extramural NIH grants to universities excel at producing papers and citations, while intramural NIH hiring more effectively translates to clinical impact.
    1. Neuroscience

    Kinematic signatures in reaching movements during spaceflight provide evidence that humans underestimate body mass in microgravity

    Zhaoran Zhang, Yu Tian ... Kunlin Wei
    Model-based kinematic analyses link the movement slowing in spaceflight to body mass underestimation.

    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.

    Inferring variant-specific effective reproduction numbers from combined case and sequencing data

    Marlin D Figgins, Trevor Bedford
    Integrating case counts with genomic sequences quantifies real-time transmission advantages of viral variants.
