    Allosteric conformational ensembles have unlimited capacity for integrating information

    John W Biddle, Rosa Martinez-Corral ... Jeremy Gunawardena
    The effective higher-order binding cooperativities arising from an ensemble of dynamically interchanging conformations are identified and shown to fully describe integration of binding information at thermodynamic equilibrium.

    Presynaptic NMDA receptors facilitate short-term plasticity and BDNF release at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses

    Pablo J Lituma, Hyung-Bae Kwon ... Pablo E Castillo
    By facilitating glutamate and BDNF release, presynaptic NMDA receptors may control information transfer from the dentate gyrus to the CA3 area of the hippocampus.

    The organizational principles of de-differentiated topographic maps in somatosensory cortex

    Peng Liu, Anastasia Chrysidou ... Esther Kuehn
    SI topographic finger maps of older adults show signs of cortical aging but do not show classical hallmarks of cortical de-differentiation.

    Tendon and motor phenotypes in the Crtap-/- mouse model of recessive osteogenesis imperfecta

    Matthew William Grol, Nele A Haelterman ... Brendan H Lee
    Ultrastructural, biochemical, and behavioral assessments reveal that the Crtap-/- mouse model of severe, recessive Osteogenesis Imperfecta presents with defects in tendon structure and strength that correlate with severe motor deficits.

    Corticothalamic gating of population auditory thalamocortical transmission in mouse

    Baher A Ibrahim, Caitlin A Murphy ... Daniel A Llano
    Sensory stimulation produces stochastic population responses in the cortex that are governed by layer 6 cortico-reticular projections that modulate thalamic synchrony.

    Integrative transcriptomic analysis of tissue-specific metabolic crosstalk after myocardial infarction

    Muhammad Arif, Martina Klevstig ... Jan Boren
    Elucidating widespread and tissue-specific biological process alterations after myocardial infaction in metabolically active tissues using systems biology approaches.

    RSC primes the quiescent genome for hypertranscription upon cell-cycle re-entry

    Christine E Cucinotta, Rachel H Dell ... Toshio Tsukiyama
    Multiple mechanisms, by which a highly conserved chromatin-remodeling factor RSC facilitates initiation and maintenance of large-scale, rapid gene expression upon exit from quiescent state, have been discovered.

    A TORC1-histone axis regulates chromatin organisation and non-canonical induction of autophagy to ameliorate ageing

    Yu-Xuan Lu, Jennifer C Regan ... Linda Partridge
    Modulation of histone levels in gut enterocytes by rapamycin treatment alters chromatin organisation and induces intestinal autophagy through transcriptional regulation to prevent age-related decline in the intestine and extend lifespan.

    The push-to-open mechanism of the tethered mechanosensitive ion channel NompC

    Yang Wang, Yifeng Guo ... Chen Song
    A pushing force on the ankyrin repeat region of NompC leads to the gating of the mechanosensitive ion channel, which may enable cells to feel compression and shrinkage.

    Voltage-clamp fluorometry analysis of structural rearrangements of ATP-gated channel P2X2 upon hyperpolarization

    Rizki Tsari Andriani, Yoshihiro Kubo
    A fluorometric analysis under voltage clamp shows the presence of a converged electric field in P2X2 channel with no canonical voltage-sensor and identifies the structural determinants for the voltage-dependent gating.
