    Loss of Tsc1 in cerebellar Purkinje cells induces transcriptional and translation changes in FMRP target transcripts

    Jasbir Singh Dalal, Kellen Diamond Winden ... Mustafa Sahin
    Tsc1 mutation in cerebellar Purkinje cells leads to downregulation of synapse genes that are targets of the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein.

    Folding of cohesin’s coiled coil is important for Scc2/4-induced association with chromosomes

    Naomi J Petela, Andres Gonzalez Llamazares ... Kim A Nasmyth
    First evidence of cohesin folding occurring in vivo and during cohesion together with a detailed description of the structural aspects of cohesin's elbow folding through a series of novel structures.

    Mechanistic theory predicts the effects of temperature and humidity on inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses

    Dylan H Morris, Kwe Claude Yinda ... James O Lloyd-Smith
    Viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, retain infectivity longer at low temperatures and extreme relative humidities because these conditions slow down the chemical reactions that inactivate those viruses.

    Specialized coding patterns among dorsomedial prefrontal neuronal ensembles predict conditioned reward seeking

    Roger I Grant, Elizabeth M Doncheck ... James M Otis
    Excitatory output neurons in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex display heterogeneously specialized coding properties that evolve during cue-reward learning and predict cue-driven reward seeking.

    Neural correlates of ingroup bias for prosociality in rats

    Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal, Jocelyn M Breton ... Daniela Kaufer
    A distinct neural network, including the nucleus accumbens as a central hub, is active when rats are exposed to trapped ingroup members they had previously helped escape a trap, but not for outgroup members who had not been helped.

    Akt phosphorylates insulin receptor substrate to limit PI3K-mediated PIP3 synthesis

    Alison L Kearney, Dougall M Norris ... James G Burchfield
    Akt phosphorylates insulin receptor substrate to engage negative feedback and limit signal propagation.

    Lives saved with vaccination for 10 pathogens across 112 countries in a pre-COVID-19 world

    Jaspreet Toor, Susy Echeverria-Londono ... Katy AM Gaythorpe
    Vaccination activities that occurred before the COVID-19 pandemic, 2000-2019, are estimated to avert 50 million deaths, highlighting the enormous benefits of continued and improving vaccination.

    Unique integrated stress response sensors regulate cancer cell susceptibility when Hsp70 activity is compromised

    Sara Sannino, Megan E Yates ... Jeffrey L Brodsky
    Unique integrate stress response sensors differentially trigger pro-survival versus pro-apoptotic responses in cells confronted with Hsp70 inhibitor-associated proteotoxic challenges.

    Stability of neocortical synapses across sleep and wake states during the critical period in rats

    Brian A Cary, Gina G Turrigiano
    Sleep and wake states are not sufficient to drive changes in neocortical synaptic strengths.

    Myosin-based regulation of twitch and tetanic contractions in mammalian skeletal muscle

    Cameron Hill, Elisabetta Brunello ... Malcolm Irving
    The physiological contraction of skeletal muscle is controlled by structural changes in the thick filaments, establishing a new paradigm for developing potential treatments for muscle weakness.
