    Non-thalamic origin of zebrafish sensory nuclei implies convergent evolution of visual pathways in amniotes and teleosts

    Solal Bloch, Hanako Hagio ... Kei Yamamoto
    Mesencephalic origin of the zebrafish thalamocortical-like visual projection neurons indicates independent evolution of tectofugal visual pathways in amniotes and teleosts.

    EphrinB2-EphB4 signalling provides Rho-mediated homeostatic control of lymphatic endothelial cell junction integrity

    Maike Frye, Simon Stritt ... Taija Mäkinen
    EphrinB2/EphB4-mediated regulation of cytoskeletal contractility is a key homeostatic mechanism of lymphatic endothelial cell-cell junction maintenance, and provides a potential target for therapeutic modulation of lymphatic vessel permeability and function.

    Firing rate-dependent phase responses of Purkinje cells support transient oscillations

    Yunliang Zang, Sungho Hong, Erik De Schutter
    Computational and theoretical models show that rate adaptation of phase responses can regulate Purkinje cell outputs by forming transient oscillations in fast-spiking neurons.

    Marked synergy by vertical inhibition of EGFR signaling in NSCLC spheroids shows SOS1 is a therapeutic target in EGFR-mutated cancer

    Patricia L Theard, Erin Sheffels ... Robert L Kortum
    Combined EGFR and SOS1 inhibition synergize to inhibit NSCLC spheroid growth.

    A regulatory pathway that selectively up-regulates elongasome function in the absence of class A PBPs

    Yesha Patel, Heng Zhao, John D Helmann
    Balanced peptidoglycan synthesis requires regulators, including sigma-I and WalKR, that coordinate the diffusive action of class A PBPs and the directional motion of the MreB-directed elongasome.

    Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva mutant ACVR1 signals by multiple modalities in the developing zebrafish

    Robyn S Allen, Benjamin Tajer ... Mary C Mullins
    The human Fibrodysplasia-Ossificans-Progressiva BMP-receptor mutant signals in zebrafish in the absence of ligand-binding, displays BMP ligand-responsive hyperactivity, neither requiring other type-I-BMP receptors, unlike wild-type, challenging views of the pathological mechanism.

    Neural arbitration between social and individual learning systems

    Andreea Oliviana Diaconescu, Madeline Stecy ... Philippe N Tobler
    Arbitration is formalised as the relative precision of predictions afforded by reward and social learning systems and is represented in modality-specific dopaminergic and dopaminoceptive regions, including the midbrain and amygdala.

    Metabolic response of blood vessels to TNFα

    Abidemi Junaid, Johannes Schoeman ... Thomas Hankemeier
    The metabolic readout of endothelial function in the microvessels-on-a-chip facilitates mechanistic studies and detection of biomarkers for microvascular diseases in a physiological relevant environment.

    Underground isoleucine biosynthesis pathways in E. coli

    Charles AR Cotton, Iria Bernhardsgrütter ... Arren Bar-Even
    Upon deletion of threonine deaminases, biosynthesis of isoleucine is rescued by two promiscuous reactions, one emerges under aerobic conditions and the other is naturally active under anaerobic conditions.

    The frequency gradient of human resting-state brain oscillations follows cortical hierarchies

    Keyvan Mahjoory, Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen ... Joachim Gross
    The strongest peak frequency of brain oscillations in a brain area decreases significantly, gradually and robustly along the posterior-anterior axis following the global hierarchy from early sensory to higher order areas.
