    A geometric shape regularity effect in the human brain

    Mathias Sablé-Meyer, Lucas Benjamin ... Stanislas Dehaene
    fMRI and MEG results in adults and children show encoding of abstract geometric regularities in dorsal-parietal, temporal, and frontal regions, pointing to a system for symbolic geometric representation in humans.

    Chemotherapy resistance due to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is caused by abnormal lipid metabolic balance

    Atsushi Matsumoto, Akihito Inoko ... Junichi Ikenouchi
    Lipid imbalance triggered by Snail-driven epithelial–mesenchymal transition creates a cholesterol-dependent vulnerability that can be therapeutically targeted to overcome chemoresistance in cancer.

    Overexpression of Ssd1 and calorie restriction extend yeast replicative lifespan by preventing deleterious age-dependent iron uptake

    J Ignacio Gutierrez, Claudia Edgar, Jessica K Tyler
    Live imaging analyses in budding yeast reveal that calorie restriction and overexpression of the mRNA binding protein Ssd1 both block deleterious age-dependent iron uptake as a mechanism to extend lifespan.

    Affinity-guided labeling reveals P2X7 nanoscale membrane redistribution during BV2 microglial activation

    Benoit Arnould, Adeline Martz ... Thomas Grutter
    An affinity-guided chemical strategy enabling highly specific biotinylation of P2X7 receptors reveals, by super-resolution microscopy, how the nanoscale organization of endogenous P2X7 in BV2 microglial cells dynamically changes upon activation.

    Two classes of amine/glutamate multi-transmitter neurons innervate Drosophila internal male reproductive organs

    Marta Chaverra, John Paul Toney ... R Steven Stowers
    Drosophila internal male reproductive organs exhibit parallel innervation by two types of multi-transmitter neurons, a subset of which are essential for fertility, and organ-specific spatially discrete neurotransmitter receptor expression.

    Short activation domains control chromatin association of transcription factors

    Vinson B Fan, Abrar A Abidi ... Max V Staller
    Single-molecule tracking of transcription factors in living cells revealed how mutations that make short activation domains stronger increased the fraction of transcription factor molecules bound to chromatin and led to longer residence times on chromatin.

    The interplay between biomolecular assembly and phase separation

    Giacomo Bartolucci, Ivar S Haugerud ... Christoph A Weber
    Biomolecular assembly typically promotes phase separation while the presence of coexisting phases alters assembly kinetics.

    Pupil dilation offers a time-window on prediction error

    Olympia Colizoli, Tessa M van Leeuwen ... Harold Bekkering
    Pupil dilation provides a physiological readout of information gain during the brain's internal process of belief updating in the context of associative learning.

    Reconstructing voice identity from noninvasive auditory cortex recordings

    Charly Lamothe, Etienne Thoret ... Pascal Belin
    A low-dimensional voice latent space derived from deep learning captures speaker-identity representations in the temporal voice areas and supports reconstruction of voices preserving identity information.
