    Computed tomographic analysis of the dental system of three Jurassic ceratopsians and implications for the evolution of tooth replacement pattern and diet in early-diverging ceratopsians

    Jinfeng Hu, Catherine A Forster ... Fenglu Han
    The tooth replacement pattern of early-diverging ceratopsians helps to understand the origin of the specialized dental system of ceratopsids and provides new insights to feeding strategy transition.

    Competition between parallel sensorimotor learning systems

    Scott T Albert, Jihoon Jang ... Reza Shadmehr
    When a common error drives parallel implicit and explicit learning systems, increases in the explicit response will suppress implicit adaptation.

    De novo-designed transmembrane domains tune engineered receptor functions

    Assaf Elazar, Nicholas J Chandler ... Sarel J Fleishman
    Designer transmembrane peptides precisely control chimeric antigen receptor signaling strength and are insulated from undesired interactions with endogenous receptors.

    Early lock-in of structured and specialised information flows during neural development

    David P Shorten, Viola Priesemann ... Joseph T Lizier
    In developing neural cell cultures, information flows lock-in early and nodes undertake specialised computational roles.

    Condensation of Ede1 promotes the initiation of endocytosis

    Mateusz Kozak, Marko Kaksonen
    Protein phase separation provides an explanation for the compositional flexibility of endocytic initiation and the role of multivalent disordered scaffolds in endocytosis.

    Coordination of two opposite flagella allows high-speed swimming and active turning of individual zoospores

    Quang D Tran, Eric Galiana ... Xavier Noblin
    Coordinated actions of two opposite flagella control speed and change direction of plant pathogen Phytophthora zoospores, in which the anterior flagellum is the main motor to generate thrust and spontaneously switch from reciprocal beating to breaststrokes to reorient its body.

    Endogenous Syngap1 alpha splice forms promote cognitive function and seizure protection

    Murat Kilinc, Vineet Arora ... Gavin Rumbaugh
    Alternatively spliced C-terminal protein sequences encoded by the Syngap1 gene exhibit unique biochemical and functional properties in vivo, which explain in part how individual isoforms can promote cognitive functions and seizure protection.

    A tRNA processing enzyme is a key regulator of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response

    James P Held, Gaomin Feng ... Maulik R Patel
    A key role for RNAs in sensing and mounting a response to mitochondrial stress.

    Long-range migration of centrioles to the apical surface of the olfactory epithelium

    Kaitlin Ching, Jennifer T Wang, Tim Stearns
    Olfactory sensory neurons have centrioles that are amplified in number and that migrate from the cell body to the end of the dendrite relatively slowly and in groups, becoming mature only after they reach their destination.

    Independent and interacting value systems for reward and information in the human brain

    Irene Cogliati Dezza, Axel Cleeremans, William H Alexander
    Reward and information are independently optimized in the human prefrontal cortex, while their signals combine in subcortical regions.
