    Non-equilibrium strategies enabling ligand specificity by signaling receptors

    Andrew Goetz, Jeremy Barrios ... Purushottam D Dixit
    Non-equilibrium thermodynamics allows signaling networks to signal downstream of certain ligands but avoid signaling from others.

    Axonal injury signaling is restrained by a spared synaptic branch

    Laura J Smithson, Juliana L Zang ... Catherine A Collins
    Transcriptional responses to axonal damage are required for circuit repair, but these responses are restrained in injuries that leave spared axonal branches.

    Detecting, mapping, and suppressing the spread of a decade-long Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial outbreak with genomics

    William Stribling, Lindsey R Hall ... Francois Lebreton
    Routine genomic surveillance uncovered a decades-long multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak sustained by patient reservoirs and hospital plumbing, enabling targeted infection control measures that ultimately curtailed transmission.

    Homophilic wiring principles underpin neuronal network topology in vitro

    Danyal Akarca, Alexander WE Dunn ... Manuel Schröter
    Functional connectivity in rodent and human neuronal cultures is best explained by homophilic wiring rules, in which neurons preferentially form connections depending on spatial proximity and shared connectivity patterns, suggesting a unifying principle across scales.

    Changes in neural progenitor lineage composition during astrocytic differentiation of human iPSCs

    Zongze Li, Lucia Fernandez Cardo ... Meng Li
    A genetic tracing study demonstrates that neural progenitor lineage dominance may not be maintained in differentiated progeny, underscoring the critical need for region-specific markers to validate pluripotent stem cell–derived products.

    Newly trained navigation and verbal memory skills in humans elicit changes in task-related networks but not brain structure

    Li Zheng, Zachary Boogaart ... Steven M Weisberg
    Learning new navigation or memory skills engages flexible brain network dynamics without altering gray matter, white matter, or hippocampal structure.

    Gene regulatory dynamics during craniofacial development in a carnivorous marsupial

    Laura E Cook, Charles Y Feigin ... Irene Gallego Romero
    While the genes involved in craniofacial development are highly conserved between the fat-tailed dunnart and mouse, their cis-regulatory elements show significant divergence and appear to reflect species-specific developmental processes.

    Cell membrane glycan contents are biochemical factors that constitute a kinetic barrier to viral particle uptake in a protein-nonspecific manner

    Yoshihisa Kaizuka, Rika Machida
    Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.

    Measuring changes in Plasmodium falciparum census population size in response to sequential malaria control interventions

    Kathryn E Tiedje, Qi Zhan ... Karen P Day
    Despite major perturbations from sequential interventions, the Plasmodium falciparum population remained very large and retained the var population genetic characteristics of a high-transmission system.

    Deep3DSIM: Super-resolution imaging of thick tissue using 3D structured illumination with adaptive optics

    Jingyu Wang, Danail Stoychev ... Ilan Davis
    Deep3DSIM enables super-resolution imaging >130 µm into complex tissues of fixed and live specimens in an upright configuration, allowing sample manipulation, as well as rapid refocusing without the need to move the specimen or objective lens.
