    Bardet–Biedl syndrome 3 protein promotes ciliary exit of the signaling protein phospholipase D via the BBSome

    Yan-Xia Liu, Bin Xue ... Zhen-Chuan Fan
    Bardet–Biedl syndrome 3 (BBS3) protein promotes phospholipase D to load onto the BBSome at the ciliary tip for moving out of the cilium via intraflagellar transport.

    Functional reallocation of sensory processing resources caused by long-term neural adaptation to altered optics

    Antoine Barbot, Woon Ju Park ... Geunyoung Yoon
    Chronic exposure to poor optical quality causes a functional reallocation of sensory processing resources that favors perceptual information less affected by the eye's optics.

    Quantifying the impact of quarantine duration on COVID-19 transmission

    Peter Ashcroft, Sonja Lehtinen ... Sebastian Bonhoeffer
    Test-and-release quarantine strategies for traced contacts of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases and returning travellers can reduce average quarantine durations while remaining as effective as 10 days of quarantine without testing.

    Microglial trogocytosis and the complement system regulate axonal pruning in vivo

    Tony KY Lim, Edward S Ruthazer
    In vivo time lapse imaging reveals that microglial trogocytosis of presynaptic elements is regulated by the complement system which controls axon morphogenesis in the developing brain.

    Seroconversion stages COVID19 into distinct pathophysiological states

    Matthew D Galbraith, Kohl T Kinning ... Joaquín M Espinosa
    Stratification of COVID19 patients using quantitative metrics of seroconversion reveals distinct pathophysiological stages after SARS-CoV-2 infection, including key differences in immune cell types, inflammatory makers, and markers of organ function.
