    An empirical energy landscape reveals mechanism of proteasome in polypeptide translocation

    Rui Fang, Jason Hon ... Ying Lu
    Empirical energy landscape allows simulating the structural dynamics of the proteasomal ATPase complex, which yields predictions that are widely consistent with experimental observations and reveals the functional mechanism of the proteasome in substrate degradation.

    Coupling of pupil- and neuronal population dynamics reveals diverse influences of arousal on cortical processing

    Thomas Pfeffer, Christian Keitel ... Joachim Gross
    Spontaneous fluctuations in pupil-indexed arousal shape human cortical dynamics in a frequency-dependent and spatially diverse manner.

    Mapping the functional connectivity of ecosystem services supply across a regional landscape

    Rachel D Field, Lael Parrott
    Mapping functional relationships between multiple ecosystem services (ES) reveals previously unidentified areas of high ES value, which suggests that the spatial focus of planning for optimal ES provisioning may shift when relationships between several ES are considered.

    Different computations over the same inputs produce selective behavior in algorithmic brain networks

    Katarzyna Jaworska, Yuening Yan ... Philippe G Schyns
    Four stages of linear and nonlinear computations in hierarchical dynamic brain networks progressively transform the same two visual inputs into the task-specific XOR, AND, and OR behavioral responses.

    Fibroblast mechanotransduction network predicts targets for mechano-adaptive infarct therapies

    Jesse D Rogers, William J Richardson
    Mechanotransduction signaling analysis suggests that mechanical tension can sensitize, desensitize, and reverse cell responses to biochemical agonists, as well as provide mechano-adaptive targets for regionally specific drug responses.

    Extent, impact, and mitigation of batch effects in tumor biomarker studies using tissue microarrays

    Konrad H Stopsack, Svitlana Tyekucheva ... Lorelei A Mucci
    Tissue microarrays, a high-throughout approach to quantifying biomarkers used in hundreds of cancer studies every year, are susceptible to batch effects that can alter results but that are readily addressable.

    Kidney organoids recapitulate human basement membrane assembly in health and disease

    Mychel RPT Morais, Pinyuan Tian ... Rachel Lennon
    Kidney organoids are a high-fidelity system for investigating basement membrane regulation in development and disease.

    Shallow neural networks trained to detect collisions recover features of visual loom-selective neurons

    Baohua Zhou, Zifan Li ... Damon A Clark
    When artificial networks modeled on a Drosophila neuron are tasked with discriminating objects on collision course from other visual scenes, their optimized solutions reproduce many functional features of the original loom-selective neuron.

    A test of the pioneer factor hypothesis using ectopic liver gene activation

    Jeffrey L Hansen, Kaiser J Loell, Barak A Cohen
    Pioneering activity may be a property of all transcription factors with sufficient affinity for their targets rather than a property of specific classes of transcription factors.

    Broca's cerebral asymmetry reflects gestural communication's lateralisation in monkeys (Papio anubis)

    Yannick Becker, Nicolas Claidière ... Adrien Meguerditchian
    A brain MRI imaging study on brain and manual lateralisation in 50 baboons shows that communicative manual gesturing is related to a Broca's area marker.
