    The olfactory critical period is determined by activity-dependent Sema7A/PlxnC1 signaling within glomeruli

    Nobuko Inoue, Hirofumi Nishizumi ... Hitoshi Sakano
    The critical period in the mouse olfactory system is defined by activity-dependent synapse formation induced by Semaphorin7A/PlexinC1 signaling in the neonatal glomeruli.

    Effective dynamics of nucleosome configurations at the yeast PHO5 promoter

    Michael Roland Wolff, Andrea Schmid ... Ulrich Gerland
    The integration of multi-nucleosome configuration data with histone turnover and new chromatin accessibility data by systematically investigated 'regulated on-off-slide' models reveals promoter state transitions regulated by just one assembly process.

    The mTORC1-mediated activation of ATF4 promotes protein and glutathione synthesis downstream of growth signals

    Margaret E Torrence, Michael R MacArthur ... Brendan D Manning
    ATF4 is a metabolic effector of mTORC1 signaling, co-opted to induce gene targets involved in amino acid synthesis, uptake, and tRNA charging, contributing to mTORC1-driven protein and glutathione synthesis.

    A KDM5–Prospero transcriptional axis functions during early neurodevelopment to regulate mushroom body formation

    Hayden AM Hatch, Helen M Belalcazar ... Julie Secombe
    The histone demethylase KDM5 functions in concert with the transcription factor Prospero to regulate a gene expression program that is required for mushroom body neuroanatomical development.

    Design issues and solutions for stop-signal data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study

    Patrick G Bissett, McKenzie P Hagen ... Russell A Poldrack
    Problematic design features in the stop-signal task for the massive Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study undermine analyses of the shared data, but can be mitigated with proposed solutions.

    Architecture and structural dynamics of the heteromeric GluK2/K5 kainate receptor

    Nandish Khanra, Patricia MGE Brown ... Joel R Meyerson
    Structures of the GluK2/K5 kainate receptor reveal the heteromer architecture and how the receptor organizes in apo, antagonist-bound, and desensitized states.

    Switch-like control of helicase processivity by single-stranded DNA binding protein

    Barbara Stekas, Steve Yeo ... Yann R Chemla
    A single-stranded DNA binding protein stimulates helicase-mediated DNA unwinding by transiently activating a latent processivity switch in the helicase.

    Genomic epidemiology of COVID-19 in care homes in the east of England

    William L Hamilton, Gerry Tonkin-Hill ... COVID-19 Genomics Consortium UK
    SARS-CoV-2 can spread efficiently within care homes causing outbreaks among residents, who are at increased risk of severe disease, emphasising the importance of stringent infection control in this population.
