    Sustained TNF-α stimulation leads to transcriptional memory that greatly enhances signal sensitivity and robustness

    Zuodong Zhao, Zhuqiang Zhang ... Bing Zhu
    Sustained TNF-α induction consolidates transcriptional memory for faster, stronger, and more sensitive subsequent induction in an active DNA demethylation-dependent manner for memory genes including CALCB, a therapeutic target for migraine.

    Sexual dimorphism in trait variability and its eco-evolutionary and statistical implications

    Susanne RK Zajitschek, Felix Zajitschek ... Shinichi Nakagawa
    Sex differences in trait variability imply that both sexes should be included in biomedical trials, using sex-specific statistical power calculations.

    Structural ordering of the Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite protein repeats by inhibitory antibody 3D11

    Iga Kucharska, Elaine Thai ... Jean-Philippe Julien
    A comprehensive structural analysis of inhibitory murine antibody 3D11 binding to Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite protein reveals common mechanisms of antibody evolution in mammals against Plasmodium parasites.

    The integration of Gaussian noise by long-range amygdala inputs in frontal circuit promotes fear learning in mice

    Mattia Aime, Elisabete Augusto ... Frederic Gambino
    The frontal associative cortex promotes fear learning by non-linearly integrating Gaussian noise in between conditioning trials with the help of basolateral amygdala inputs.

    Presynaptic NMDARs cooperate with local spikes toward GABA release from the reciprocal olfactory bulb granule cell spine

    Vanessa Lage-Rupprecht, Li Zhou ... Veronica Egger
    The essential role of presynaptic NMDA receptors for granule cell GABAergic output elucidates the function of reciprocal spines in recurrent and possibly lateral inhibition of mitral cells during olfactory processsing.

    How many neurons are sufficient for perception of cortical activity?

    Henry WP Dalgleish, Lloyd E Russell ... Michael Häusser
    Targeted optogenetic activation of small ensembles of neurons is sufficient to trigger a behavioral report while recruiting matched network suppression, suggesting exquisite sensitivity despite network mechanisms that maintain sparseness.

    Subthalamic beta-targeted neurofeedback speeds up movement initiation but increases tremor in Parkinsonian patients

    Shenghong He, Abteen Mostofi ... Huiling Tan
    Patients with Parkinson's disease can be trained to self-suppress beta bursts in subthalamic nucleus, which was accompanied by quicker reaction times when prompted to move but increased tremor.

    Islet vascularization is regulated by primary endothelial cilia via VEGF-A-dependent signaling

    Yan Xiong, M Julia Scerbo ... Per-Olof Berggren
    Primary cilia on endothelial cells are required for VEGF-A/ VEGFR2-dependent signaling, islet vascularization and, consequently, nutrient delivery and insulin disposal.

    Inter-membrane association of the Sec and BAM translocons for bacterial outer-membrane biogenesis

    Sara Alvira, Daniel W Watkins ... Ian Collinson
    The protein translocation apparatus of the inner- (Sec) and outer-membrane (BAM) interact to form a trans-periplasmic super-complex capable of long-range, PMF-dependent conformational changes to facilitate efficient outer-membrane protein maturation.

    Rdh54/Tid1 inhibits Rad51-Rad54-mediated D-loop formation and limits D-loop length

    Shanaya Shital Shah, Stella Hartono ... Wolf-Dietrich Heyer
    The dsDNA-dependent motor protein Rdh54 antagonizes Rad51-Rad54-mediated D-loop formation during homologous recombination and restricts the length of D-loops.
