    Efficacy profile of the CYD-TDV dengue vaccine revealed by Bayesian survival analysis of individual-level phase III data

    Daniel J Laydon, Ilaria Dorigatti ... Neil M Ferguson
    Bayesian survival analysis reveals comprehensive efficacy profile and mechanism of action for Sanofi-Pasteur’s CYD-TDV dengue vaccine, whereby vaccination acts as a silent, disease-free infection enhancing disease risk in seronegatives, but giving greater immunity in seropositives than two natural infections.

    Plasmodium falciparum K13 mutations in Africa and Asia impact artemisinin resistance and parasite fitness

    Barbara H Stokes, Satish K Dhingra ... David A Fidock
    Plasmodium falciparum K13 mutations confer resistance to the antimalarial artemisinin in Asian and African parasites, with most gene-edited mutant K13 African parasite lines showing a fitness cost that may predict slow dissemination of artemisinin resistance in high-transmission settings.

    Heterochromatin-dependent transcription of satellite DNAs in the Drosophila melanogaster female germline

    Xiaolu Wei, Danna G Eickbush ... Amanda M Larracuente
    The piRNA pathway regulates satellite DNAs in the Drosophila melanogaster germline and affects heterochromatin establishment at pericentromeric satellite DNA in embryos, implying a general role for piRNAs in ensuring genome stability.

    The role of interspecies recombination in the evolution of antibiotic-resistant pneumococci

    Joshua C D'Aeth, Mark PG van der Linden ... The GPS Consortium
    Selection by national-level antibiotic consumption and vaccination trends drives atypical recombinations, frequently resulting in interspecies sequence exchange at many sites across a bacterial species’ chromosome.

    Identification of drugs associated with reduced severity of COVID-19 – a case-control study in a large population

    Ariel Israel, Alejandro A Schäffer ... Eytan Ruppin
    Large-scale retrospective analysis suggests medications and dietary supplements, such as rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, ubiquinone, risedronate, vitamin D, and magnesium, are associated with a lower rate of severe COVID-19 disease.

    Disrupting cortico-cerebellar communication impairs dexterity

    Jian-Zhong Guo, Britton A Sauerbrei ... Adam W Hantman
    The flow of neural activity across the cortico-cerebellar loop enables mice to reach for objects with skill and precision.

    A subset of CB002 xanthine analogs bypass p53-signaling to restore a p53 transcriptome and target an S-phase cell cycle checkpoint in tumors with mutated-p53

    Liz Hernandez Borrero, David T Dicker ... Wafik S El-Deiry
    Anti-tumor properties of sub-class of xanthine analogs involve restoration of p53 pathway transcriptome, independent of p53/p73, dependent on ATF3/ATF4 and Noxa in mutated-p53 tumors and the compounds trigger an S-phase checkpoint.

    NirD curtails the stringent response by inhibiting RelA activity in Escherichia coli

    Loïc Léger, Deborah Byrne ... Etienne Maisonneuve
    Genetic and biochemical approaches uncover a novel mode of regulation of the alarmone synthetase RelA through a functional and direct interaction with the small subunit of the nitrite reductase NirD.

    An autoinhibitory clamp of actin assembly constrains and directs synaptic endocytosis

    Steven J Del Signore, Charlotte F Kelley ... Avital Adah Rodal
    Autoinhibition allows synaptic endocytic actin regulators to pre-deploy to synaptic membranes at high concentrations and constrains actin assembly to productive events.

    Interrogating theoretical models of neural computation with emergent property inference

    Sean R Bittner, Agostina Palmigiano ... John Cunningham
    Emergent property inference, a novel machine learning methodology, learns distributions of neural circuit model parameters that produce computational properties and provides novel scientific insight through the quantification of the rich parametric structure it captures.
