    Sociosexual behavior requires both activating and repressive roles of Tfap2e/AP-2ε in vomeronasal sensory neurons

    Jennifer M Lin, Tyler A Mitchell ... Paolo Emanuele Forni
    In vivo genetic experiments show that aberrant expression of a transcription factor can compromise the functionality of neurons which is important to better understand the potential mechanisms underlying neuropathologies.

    DNA methylome combined with chromosome cluster-oriented analysis provides an early signature for cutaneous melanoma aggressiveness

    Arnaud Carrier, Cécile Desjobert ... Paola B Arimondo
    An original molecular multi-step approach integrating DNA methylome and chromosome-cluster localization cross-analysis identified a DNA methylation signature of patient outcome supporting that the core DNA methylation for a given trait is independent of the physiological context under which it arises.

    Memory persistence and differentiation into antibody-secreting cells accompanied by positive selection in longitudinal BCR repertoires

    Artem Mikelov, Evgeniia I Alekseeva ... Ivan V Zvyagin
    High degree of clonal persistence and excess of inter-individual convergence are observed in human memory B cell repertoires, along with signatures of both negative and positive selection in most abundant clonal lineages.

    Computational modeling and quantitative physiology reveal central parameters for brassinosteroid-regulated early cell physiological processes linked to elongation growth of the Arabidopsis root

    Ruth Großeholz, Friederike Wanke ... Klaus Harter
    The recurring application of computational modelling combined with wet lab experiments identify and predict central regulatory parameters and factors for early cell physiological reactions linked to differential brassinosteroid-modified elongation growth in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana.

    Repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor deficiency yields profound hearing loss through Kv7.4 channel upsurge in auditory neurons and hair cells

    Haiwei Zhang, Hongchen Li ... Ping Lv
    In the cochlea, repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) regulates the expression levels of Kv7.4 and alterations of REST functions result in progressive hearing loss.

    A neutrophil–B-cell axis impacts tissue damage control in a mouse model of intraabdominal bacterial infection via Cxcr4

    Riem Gawish, Barbara Maier ... Sylvia Knapp
    LPS pre-exposure is tissue protective during a subsequent lethal E. coli peritonitis by long-term modulation the bone marrow B-cell and neutrophil pool which affects neutrophil tissue damaging properties and therapeutic activation of Cxcr4 promotes tissue damage control during sepsis.

    Shared mechanisms of auditory and non-auditory vocal learning in the songbird brain

    James N McGregor, Abigail L Grassler ... Samuel J Sober
    A novel, non-auditory learning paradigm reveals that songbirds can modify their vocal output based on somatosensory signals and that a common set of brain pathways underlies both this form of vocal learning and auditory-guided vocal learning.

    Identification of putative enhancer-like elements predicts regulatory networks active in planarian adult stem cells

    Jakke Neiro, Divya Sridhar ... Aziz Aboobaker
    Predicted gene regulatory networks active in planarians adult stem cells provide testable hypotheses about the control of pluripotency and differentiation in animals.

    Isometric spiracular scaling in scarab beetles—implications for diffusive and advective oxygen transport

    Julian M Wagner, C Jaco Klok ... Jon F Harrison
    Diffusion but not advection becomes increasingly challenging for gas transport across insect spiracles as body size increases.

    Functional brain reconfiguration during sustained pain

    Jae-Joong Lee, Sungwoo Lee ... Choong-Wan Woo
    Human neuroimaging with time-evolving network analysis reveals dynamic interactions among multiple functional brain networks in response to sustained pain.
