    C-C chemokine receptor 4 deficiency exacerbates early atherosclerosis in mice

    Toru Tanaka, Naoto Sasaki ... Yoshiyuki Rikitake
    CCR4 expression in Tregs is critical for limiting proinflammatory Th1 cell-mediated immune responses and atherosclerosis by maintaining the suppressive and migratory functions of Tregs.

    Elucidating the selection mechanisms in context-dependent computation through low-rank neural network modeling

    Yiteng Zhang, Jianfeng Feng, Bin Min
    Mechanistic modeling with low-rank recurrent networks uncovers the relationship between network connectivity, neural dynamics, and selection modulation mechanisms in context-dependent computation.

    Intrinsic dynamic shapes responses to external stimulation in the human brain

    Maximilian Nentwich, Marcin Leszczynski ... Lucas C Parra
    A new computational model improves estimation of Granger connectivity by removing spurious effects of external inputs, and estimation of linear encoding models by removing spurious effects of recurrent connections.

    Planar cell polarity coordination in a cnidarian embryo provides clues to animal body axis evolution

    Julie Uveira, Antoine Donati ... Tsuyoshi Momose
    The jellyfish embryonic body axis is globally coordinated by conserved planar cell polarity (PCP) mechanisms and oriented by localised Wnt3 in two steps, highlighting PCP’s role in animal axis evolution.

    Structural insights into heterohexameric assembly of epilepsy-related ligand–receptor complex LGI1–ADAM22

    Takayuki Yamaguchi, Kei Okatsu ... Shuya Fukai
    Cryo-electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force microscopy analyses of an epilepsy-related ligand–receptor complex LGI1–ADAM22 reveal the three-dimensional structure and dynamics of the 3:3 heterohexameric assembly of LGI1–ADAM22.

    Human eIF2A has a minimal role in translation initiation and in uORF-mediated translational control in HeLa cells

    Mykola Roiuk, Marilena Neff, Aurelio A Teleman
    Although eIF2A is thought to be a translation initiation factor, loss of eIF2A has no effect on cellular mRNA translation in either unstressed or stressed conditions.
