    Exploiting fluctuations in gene expression to detect causal interactions between genes

    Euan Joly-Smith, Mir Mikdad Talpur ... Andreas Hilfinger
    Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

    Immunoglobulin M regulates airway hyperresponsiveness independent of T helper 2 allergic inflammation

    Sabelo Hadebe, Anca Flavia Savulescu ... Frank Brombacher
    Immunoglobulin M has other functions beyond antibody class switching that have implications in asthma treatment.

    Dissociable memory modulation mechanisms facilitate fear amnesia at different timescales

    Yinmei Ni, Ye Wang ... Jian Li
    The retrieval-extinction paradigm elicits a short-term fear amnesia that differs in cue specificity, timescale, and dependence on thought-control ability from the long-term amnesia believed to be associated with memory reconsolidation.

    Early changes in the properties of CA3 engram cells explored with a novel viral tool in mice

    Dario Cupolillo, Noelle Grosjean ... Christophe Mulle
    A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.

    IL-27 limits HSPC differentiation during infection and protects from stem cell exhaustion

    Daniel L Aldridge, Zachary Lanzar ... Christopher A Hunter
    Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection.

    Chromatin accessibility variation provides insights into missing regulation underlying immune-mediated diseases

    Raehoon Jeong, Martha L Bulyk
    Analyzing population-level chromatin accessibility data shows added benefit over utilizing only gene expression data in elucidating the genetic mechanism of disease-associated variants.

    Degradation of LMO2 in T cell leukaemia results in collateral breakdown of transcription complex partners and causes LMO2-dependent apoptosis

    Naphannop Sereesongsaeng, Carole Bataille ... Terence Rabbitts
    Antibody surrogate degraders of LMO2 indicate that transcription complexes are susceptible to drug discovery and are therefore druggable.

    Separating the control of moving and holding in human post-stroke arm paresis

    Alkis M Hadjiosif, Kahori Kita ... John W Krakauer
    Patients with stroke often show impairment in both moving and holding the arm, deficits that are dissociable experimentally, suggesting that moving and holding are controlled by separate neural mechanisms.

    Sex-specific exploration accounts for differences in valence learning in male and female mice

    Heike Schuler, Eshaan S Iyer ... Rosemary C Bagot
    1. Ecology

    Range geography and temperature variability explain cross-continental convergence in range and phenology shifts in a model insect taxon

    Catherine Sirois-Delisle, Susan CC Gordon, Jeremy Kerr
    Across continents, half of odonate species shifted both ranges and phenologies in response to climate warming, with southern species and those experiencing less temperature variability shifting ranges more strongly.
