    Structural dynamics of IRE1 and its interaction with unfolded peptides

    Elena Spinetti, Grzegorz Ścibisz ... Roberto Covino
    A unified structural model of IRE1 activation reconciles conflicting sensing theories by characterizing specific peptide-binding sites and the mechanism by which BiP regulates oligomerization during the unfolded protein response.

    Two time scales of adaptation in human learning rates

    Jonas Simoens, Senne Braem ... Tom Verguts
    Humans adapt learning rates on both a fast and a slow time scale, and the central orbitofrontal cortex may represent the slow time scale.

    Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-mediated fast and coordinated Ca²+ responses regulate NF-κB activation

    Fangrui Guo, Roberto Ornelas Guevara ... Guy Tran Van Nhieu
    Through low levels of extracellular ATP, EPEC induces small, rapid and coordinated Ca2+ responses in epithelial cells, a yet unreported pattern, that down-regulate inflammation at the onset of infection.

    Reactive oxygen detoxification contributes to Mycobacterium abscessus antibiotic survival

    Nicholas A Bates, Ronald Rodriguez ... Bennett H Penn
    Antibiotics that inhibit translation cause a burst in reactive oxygen species, and these must be detoxified by factors such as KatG for cells to survive.

    The adaptive landscapes of three global Escherichia coli transcriptional regulators

    Cauã Antunes Westmann, Leander Goldbach, Andreas Wagner
    Across three global Escherichia coli regulators, identical starting sequences can evolve toward many distinct strong-binding peaks, with chance, historical contingency, and evolutionary bias shaping which outcomes prevail.

    Quantitative computerized analysis demonstrates strongly compartmentalized tissue deformation patterns underlying mammalian heart tube formation

    Morena Raiola, Miquel Sendra Sendra ... Miguel Torres
    A computational pipeline leverages mammalian heart development videos to extract tissue deformation patterns and generate a virtual fate map tool that provides new insights into cardiac morphogenesis.

    Single-cell characterization of anterior segment development in the mouse reveals the cell types, pathways, and signals driving formation of the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal

    Revathi Balasubramanian, Nicholas Tolman ... Simon WM John
    High-resolution single-cell transcriptomics reveals the molecular programs and signaling networks driving Schlemm's canal and trabecular meshwork development, establishing a foundation for understanding glaucoma pathogenesis.

    Neural categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages

    Guo Zheng, Shihui Han
    Explaining the neural mechanisms underlying language-based, spontaneous categorization of visual words of alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages by combining electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and a repetition suppression paradigm.

    Paternal over- and under-nutrition programme fetal and placental development in a sex-specific manner in mice

    Hannah L Morgan, Nader Eid ... Adam J Watkins
    Poor paternal nutrition at the time of conception shapes post-fertilisation developmental trajectory, fetal growth, and placental dynamics.

    Cluster size determines internal structure of transcription factories in human cells

    Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro ... Davide Marenduzzo
    In a polymer model of chromatin that explicitly incorporates different types of transcription factors, both specialised and mixed factories emerge naturally, with their composition governed by their size.
