    JAK-STAT pathway heterogeneity governs immunotherapy response in breast cancer

    Jianbo Zhou, Heng Zhang ... Fu Peng
    Multi-omics investigation identifies cell-type JAK-STAT heterogeneity as a predictive biomarker for PD-1 blockade in breast cancer.

    Anatomy and mechanics of tsetse fly blood feeding

    Stephan Löwe, Laura Hauf ... Markus Engstler
    A saw-like proboscis, forceful pulling movements, and precise targeting of softer skin sites allow tsetse flies to draw blood from remarkably diverse vertebrate hosts.

    Designing optimal perturbation inputs for system identification in neuroscience

    Mikito Ogino, Daiki Sekizawa ... Masafumi Oizumi
    Passive recordings miss patterns of brain activity that fade before they can be observed, but perturbations designed to re-excite those patterns make estimates of neural connections far more accurate.

    Endosome-associated Rab GTPases control distinct aspects of neural circuit assembly

    Katherine X Dong, Yanbo Zhang ... Colleen N McLaughlin
    Systematic dissection of Rab GTPase function in developing neurons reveals that early and recycling endosome-associated Rabs regulate largely distinct aspects of neuronal morphogenesis and circuit assembly across developmental time.

    A framework for analyzing global Caenorhabditis elegans neural activity

    Iulia Rusu, Zachary T Cecere ... Sreekanth H Chalasani
    Computational and theoretical analyses reveal that Caenorhabditis elegans whole-brain activity can be represented in an 8-dimensional hyperbolic manifold that hierarchically links sensory ON/OFF inputs to motor states, providing a compact geometric framework for how a nervous system processes sensory information.

    Genome-wide mapping of Cas9-induced sister chromatid exchange across single and over 200 genomic sites in human cells

    Peter Chovanec, Shiyang He, Yi Yin
    Sci-L3-Strand-seq uncovers sister chromatid exchange as a frequent hidden outcome of Cas9-induced breaks, revealing genome-editing consequences that are invisible to conventional sequencing, and can be associated with structural variations.

    Large-scale prospective evaluation of co-folding across hundreds of Mac1–ligand complexes and three virtual screens

    Jongbin Kim, Galen J Correy ... James S Fraser
    Co-folding methods accurately place and rank ligands within an optimization series, yet fail to separate true binders from docking false positives, suggesting complementary roles in drug discovery.

    Synaptic vesicle undocking induces low-frequency depression

    Melissa Silva, Federico F Trigo ... Alain Marty
    Low-frequency depression, an understudied form of synaptic plasticity, is proposed to reflect a reorganization of synaptic vesicles inside the readily releasable pool.

    Robust and replicable effects of ageing on resting-state brain electrophysiology measured with MEG

    Andrew J Quinn, Jemma Pitt ... Mark W Woolrich
    Resting-state MEG reveals a replicable, full-frequency profile of ageing that offers a foundation for comparing and validating brain health biomarkers although detecting specific effects requires careful consideration of statistical power.

    Product-stabilized filamentation by human glutamine synthetase allosterically tunes metabolic activity

    Eric Greene, Richard Muniz ... James S Fraser
    Glutamine drives its own synthetase to assemble into inhibitory filaments, linking product concentration directly to a conformational switch that gates the active site.
