    Quantitative dissection of transcription in development yields evidence for transcription-factor-driven chromatin accessibility

    Elizabeth Eck, Jonathan Liu ... Hernan G Garcia
    Confronting different models of chromatin accessibility with temporally resolved transcription profiles favors a scenario where transcription factors actively, rather than passively, drive chromatin from the inaccessible to the accessible state.

    Distinct insulin granule subpopulations implicated in the secretory pathology of diabetes types 1 and 2

    Alex J B Kreutzberger, Volker Kiessling ... Lukas K Tamm
    Insulin secreting cells harbor distinct subpopulations of insulin granules and loss of one or the other correlates strongly with secretory deficiencies characterizing type-1 or type-2 diabetes.

    Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci

    Fan Han, Minal Jamsandekar ... Leif Andersson
    Hundreds of loci underlying ecological adaptation to different environmental conditions show striking differences in allele frequencies between ecotypes of Atlantic herring.

    Intracellular complexities of acquiring a new enzymatic function revealed by mass-randomisation of active-site residues

    Kelsi R Hall, Katherine J Robins ... David F Ackerley
    Evolving E. coli NfsA for enhanced chloramphenicol detoxification in the native host environment shows that eliminating substrate competition can occur rapidly, and be key to evolving a new enzymatic function.

    Genome streamlining in a minute herbivore that manipulates its host plant

    Robert Greenhalgh, Wannes Dermauw ... Merijn R Kant
    The genome of a tiny tomato pest reveals mechanisms that underlie metazoan genome reduction.

    Visual mode switching learned through repeated adaptation to color

    Yanjun Li, Katherine EM Tregillus ... Stephen A Engel
    The visual system can learn to rapidly adjust itself through experience, switching modes to stabilize vision perception and optimize perceptual processes.

    The tricuspid valve also maladapts as shown in sheep with biventricular heart failure

    William D Meador, Mrudang Mathur ... Manuel K Rausch
    Demonstrating the tricuspid valve maladapts is critical, and understanding its regurgitation may aid in developing better treatment strategies.

    Association and dissociation between the mitochondrial Far complex and Atg32 regulate mitophagy

    Aleksei Innokentev, Kentaro Furukawa ... Tomotake Kanki
    Ppg1-dependent assembly of the mitochondrial Far complex and association/dissociation between the Far complex and Atg32 are crucial determinants for mitophagy regulation in yeast.

    Computer code comprehension shares neural resources with formal logical inference in the fronto-parietal network

    Yun-Fei Liu, Judy Kim ... Marina Bedny
    Computer code comprehension shares neural resources with formal logical inference in the fronto-parietal network.

    Reduction of elevated proton leak rejuvenates mitochondria in the aged cardiomyocyte

    Huiliang Zhang, Nathan N Alder ... Peter S Rabinovitch
    The primary respiratory defect seen in aged cardiomyocytes is an elevated proton leak mediated by ANT1, and this is prevented by treatment with SS-31 (elamipretide).
