    PTEN restrains SHH medulloblastoma growth through cell autonomous and nonautonomous mechanisms

    Zhimin Lao, Salsabiel El Nagar ... Alexandra L Joyner
    Homozygous but not heterozygous loss of Pten in sporadic mouse models of SHH-medulloblastoma greatly accelerates tumor formation, not metastasis, through increased survival of differentiated cells and possibly decreased infiltrating macrophages.

    Fragmentation and aggregation of cyanobacterial colonies

    Yuri Z Sinzato, Robert Uittenbogaard ... Maziyar Jalaal
    Flow experiments show how the formation of cyanobacterial colonies is driven by cell division, aggregation, and fragmentation under different hydrodynamic conditions.

    Geomagnetic and visual cues guide seasonal migratory orientation in the nocturnal fall armyworm, the world’s most invasive insect

    Yi-Bo Ma, Guijun Wan ... Gao Hu
    Behavioral evidence demonstrates that geomagnetic and visual cues are integrated to guide nocturnal migratory insects.

    Heat shock factor regulation of antimicrobial peptides expression suggests a conserved defense mechanism induced by febrile temperature in arthropods

    Bang Xiao, Shihan Chen ... Chaozheng Li
    Febrile temperatures enhance antiviral immunity through heat shock factor-dependent antimicrobial peptides across arthropods.

    Global transcription factors analyses reveal hierarchy and synergism of regulatory networks and master virulence regulators in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Jiadai Huang, Yue Sun ... Xin Deng
    Systematic ChIP-seq profiling of 172 transcription factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a hierarchical regulatory architecture governing virulence and establishes a searchable database to guide antimicrobial drug discovery.

    TAD boundaries and gene activity are uncoupled

    Faisal Almansour, Nadezda A Fursova ... Tom Misteli
    Single-cell analysis fails to find a functional link between the organization of chromatin domain organization and gene activity.

    A stress-activated neuronal ensemble in the supramammillary nucleus produces anxiety-like behavior in male mice

    Jinming Zhang, Kexin Yu ... Jing Han
    Stress-recruited neurons can cause anxiety-like avoidance and increase peripheral corticosterone concentration.

    Epigenetics and chromatin structure regulate var2csa expression and the placental-binding phenotype in Plasmodium falciparum

    Todd Lenz, Madle Sirel ... Ulf Ribacke
    Placenta-binding parasites show that chromatin-based mechanisms regulate placental malaria virulence gene, var2csa, and requires loss of H3K9me3-mediated heterochromatic silencing and 3D nuclear repositioning away from telomeric-repressive clusters.

    A lipoprotein partner for the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein TolC

    Jim Horne, Elise Kaplan ... Ben F Luisi
    Structural and biochemical analyses identify a bacterial lipoprotein that associates with the outer membrane component of tripartite multi-drug efflux pumps, and its potential functional roles are explored by complementary bioinformatics, proteomcid and genetic approaches.

    Endogenous precision of the number sense

    Arthur Prat-Carrabin, Michael Woodford
    A theory of efficient coding wherein the precision of representations is endogenous, task-dependent, and prior-dependent predicts scaling laws for imprecision and is supported by numerosity perception experiments with humans.
