Structure-guided biochemistry defines how the coupling between nucleic acid substrate binding and ATPase activity is used by a molecular switch to load ring-shaped motor proteins onto single-stranded DNA.

Mathematical modeling and data analysis show that, over evolutionary times, the yeast temporal program of replication strives to avoid stalling events and minimize interference between neighbor origins.

Repeated antigen encounters alter the transcriptional state and function of lymph node-resident memory CD8+ T cells to mediate improved immunity against viral infection.
The direction-selective circuit in the retina adjusts the contributions of excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms under different stimulus conditions to generate context-dependent neural representations of visual features.

3D imaging and time-lapse video-microscopy show that the PlexinB2 receptor controls the tempo of granule cell differentiation and sets the pace of their migration in mouse cerebellum.

A GPCR activated by the same agonist engages different conformational biosensors at different subcellular locations, suggesting that location-based conformations drive spatial encoding of signaling.
Kv1.1 potassium channels regulate postnatal neurogenesis in the hippocampus via increasing the membrane excitability that activates the TrkB signaling pathway in a cell-autonomous manner.
Environmental gradients can modify a fundamental relationship between host community structure and disease, with implications for predicting disease risk in a changing world.
