    A modular platform to display multiple hemagglutinin subtypes on a single immunogen

    Dana Thornlow Lamson, Faez Amokrane Nait Mohamed ... Aaron G Schmidt
    BOAS is a platform for building multivalent viral protein immunogens without a scaffold, such as a nanoparticle, to elicit broad influenza vaccine responses.

    Rapid rebalancing of co-tuned ensemble activity in the auditory cortex

    HiJee Kang, Travis A Babola, Patrick O Kanold
    Holographic neuronal stimulation shows that auditory cortex neurons with shared functional properties rapidly adjust their responses during sensory processing, revealing a circuit-level mechanism that regulates overall network activity balance.

    Theory of active self-organization of dense nematic structures in the actin cytoskeleton

    Waleed Mirza, Marco De Corato ... Marino Arroyo
    Theoretical and computational modeling reveals a mechanism of active patterning of uniform isotropic actin gels into dense nematic bundles, providing a physical basis for the adaptability of the actin cytoskeleton.

    Neural correlates and reinstatement of recent and remote memory in children and young adults

    Iryna Schommartz, Philip F Lembcke ... Yee Lee Shing
    Children show less robust memory retention overnight and after 2 weeks, with memories transforming more rapidly from detailed to gist-like neural representations, revealing less stable consolidation mechanisms than in adults.

    Characterisation of cell-scale signalling by the core planar polarity pathway during Drosophila wing development

    Alexandre Carayon, Helen Strutt, David Strutt
    Quantitative Drosophila pupal wing experiments support planar polarity depending on cell-scale signalling that does not involve depletion of a limited pool of core proteins or polarised transport on microtubules.

    Sex differences in BNST signaling and BNST CRF in fear processing

    Olivia J Hon, Sofia Neira ... Thomas L Kash
    Critical differences in how the BNST responds to different types of fear across male and female mice.

    Mechanism of SK2 channel gating and its modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules

    Samantha J Cassell, Weiyan Li ... Jonathan R Whicher
    Cryo-EM and electrophysiology reveal the mechanism of SK2 channel modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules, providing insights that enable the rational design of targeted SK2 channel therapeutics.

    Biophysical network modeling of temporal and stereotyped sequence propagation of neural activity in the premotor nucleus HVC

    Zeina Bou Diab, Marc Chammas, Arij Daou
    Songbird HVC sequences arise from a balance of ionic currents and structured inhibition, providing a mechanistic framework for understanding cortical sequence generation.

    Sub-surface deformation of individual fingerprint ridges during tactile interactions

    Giulia Corniani, Zing S Lee ... Hannes P Saal
    Sub-surface imaging demonstrates that vertical shear beneath fingertip ridges enables high mechanical spatial resolution to support tactile sensing.

    Timely vaccine strain selection and genomic surveillance improve evolutionary forecast accuracy of seasonal influenza A/H3N2

    John Huddleston, Trevor Bedford
    Reducing vaccine development time from 12 months to 6 reduces forecasting error by 25%, while reducing lags in genome sequence submission reduces uncertainty of current clade frequencies by 50%.
