    Social groups buffer maternal loss in mountain gorillas

    Robin E Morrison, Winnie Eckardt ... Tara S Stoinski
    In mountain gorillas, as in certain human populations, relationships between group members can act as a social buffer, breaking the link between maternal loss, increased social adversity, and decreased fitness.

    Effects of domestication on the gut microbiota parallel those of human industrialization

    Aspen T Reese, Katia S Chadaideh ... Rachel N Carmody
    Gut microbial signatures of domestication parallel those of industrialization, implicating shared ecological drivers.

    Diversity and asynchrony in soil microbial communities stabilizes ecosystem functioning

    Cameron Wagg, Yann Hautier ... Marcel GA van der Heijden
    Soil microbial diversity loss destabilizes the ability of the soil to function because greater diversity is needed to maintain temporal and functional asynchrony among different microbes.

    Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography reveals early structural changes in channelrhodopsin

    Kazumasa Oda, Takashi Nomura ... Osamu Nureki
    Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography revealed retinal kink and early changes in channelrhodopsin, which leads to the ion pore formation.

    Glial insulin regulates cooperative or antagonistic Golden goal/Flamingo interactions during photoreceptor axon guidance

    Hiroki Takechi, Satoko Hakeda-Suzuki ... Takashi Suzuki
    Timely regulation of growth cone dynamics, including filopodial and cytoskeletal rearrangements through phosphorylation signals from glial cells, shapes the photoreceptor axon targeting.

    Age-related changes in polycomb gene regulation disrupt lineage fidelity in intestinal stem cells

    Helen M Tauc, Imilce A Rodriguez-Fernandez ... Heinrich Jasper
    Global, multi-angled genetic analyses identified an age-associated loss of stem cell lineage fidelity that was linked to changes in polycomb regulation in the Drosophila intestinal epithelium.

    Regulation of photosynthetic electron flow on dark to light transition by ferredoxin:NADP(H) oxidoreductase interactions

    Manuela Kramer, Melvin Rodriguez-Heredia ... Guy Thomas Hanke
    The regulatory switch from protection to assimilation, which plants use to exploit natural, fluctuating light, involves movement of the enzyme ferredoxin:NADP(H) oxidoreductase between chloroplast membrane complexes.

    From local resynchronization to global pattern recovery in the zebrafish segmentation clock

    Koichiro Uriu, Bo-Kai Liao ... Luis G Morelli
    Theory explains how transport of gene expression vortices by cell advection may cause intermingled defective and normal segments along the body axis during resynchronization experiments in the zebrafish segmentation clock.
