    A Bayesian analysis of the association between Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase genotype and survival in tuberculous meningitis

    Laura Whitworth, Jacob Coxon ... Lalita Ramakrishnan
    In this ideal example of pharmacogenomics, individuals with a common variant in a gene encoding for an inflammatory lipid mediator benefit selectively from standard-of-care anti-inflammatory treatment used for tuberculous meningitis.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Primary and promiscuous functions coexist during evolutionary innovation through whole protein domain acquisitions

    José Antonio Escudero, Aleksandra Nivina ... Didier Mazel
    The coexistence of ancestral and innovative functions is possible and fosters evolutionary innovation in events involving the acquisition of whole protein domains.

    Structure of bacterial phospholipid transporter MlaFEDB with substrate bound

    Nicolas Coudray, Georgia L Isom ... Damian C Ekiert
    Structure of MlaFEDB ABC transporter with substrate bound in the outward-open pocket of MlaE provides mechanistic insights into lipid transport within the Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope.

    Dose-dependent action of the RNA binding protein FOX-1 to relay X-chromosome number and determine C. elegans sex

    Behnom Farboud, Catherine S Novak ... Barbara J Meyer
    RNA binding protein FOX-1 functions as a dose-dependent X-signal element to communicate X-chromosome number and determine nematode sex by controlling alternative non-productive pre-mRNA splicing of the master sex-determination switch gene.
    1. Neuroscience

    Isoform-specific roles for AKT in affective behavior, spatial memory, and extinction related to psychiatric disorders

    Helen Wong, Josien Levenga ... Charles Hoeffer
    Murine behavioral testing and biochemical experiments reveal AKT isoform- and sex-dependent mechanisms regulating affective behavior, memory formation, and extinction.

    BUB-1 targets PP2A:B56 to regulate chromosome congression during meiosis I in C. elegans oocytes

    Laura Bel Borja, Flavie Soubigou ... Federico Pelisch
    BUB-1 recruits PP2A/B56 to regulate chromosome congression in meiosis I.
    1. Neuroscience

    High-fidelity musculoskeletal modeling reveals that motor planning variability contributes to the speed-accuracy tradeoff

    Mazen Al Borno, Saurabh Vyas ... Scott L Delp
    The speed-accuracy tradeoff could be a consequence of motor planning variability and not exclusively signal-dependent noise, as is currently held.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cell types and neuronal circuitry underlying female aggression in Drosophila

    Catherine E Schretter, Yoshinori Aso ... Gerald M Rubin
    A discrete group of interconnected neurons are shown to drive aggressive social interactions in Drosophila females and genetic tools to manipulate these neuronal cell types are provided.
    1. Neuroscience

    The neural basis for a persistent internal state in Drosophila females

    David Deutsch, Diego Pacheco ... Mala Murthy
    A set of sexually dimorphic neurons in female flies is part of a recurrent neural network and drives minutes-long persistent neural activity and persistent social behaviors.

    A digital 3D reference atlas reveals cellular growth patterns shaping the Arabidopsis ovule

    Athul Vijayan, Rachele Tofanelli ... Kay Schneitz
    Deep imaging, machine-learning-based segmentation, and tissue annotation resulted in a developmental series of 3D digital ovules with cellular resolution allowing next-level analysis of the ontogenesis of this complex organ.
