    Criterion placement threatens the construct validity of neural measures of consciousness

    Johannes Jacobus Fahrenfort, Philippa A Johnson ... Simon van Gaal
    The neural basis of consciousness is confounded by the mismatch between what participants report about their experience versus what they actually experience.

    Oxydifficidin, a potent Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibiotic due to DedA-assisted uptake and ribosomal protein RplL sensitivity

    Jingbo Kan, Adrian Morales-Amador ... Sean F Brady
    Oxydifficidin presents potent activity against multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhea with a new mode of action, which opens a new avenue for potentially addressing antibiotic resistant gonorrhea.

    Endogenous oscillatory rhythms and interactive contingencies jointly influence infant attention during early infant-caregiver interaction

    Emily AM Phillips, Louise Goupil ... Sam V Wass
    Infant attention during naturalistic social interactions is supported by their own endogenous neural activity and extended with the micro-contingent behavioural responsivity of their caregiver.

    Evolutionary and functional analyses reveal a role for the RHIM in tuning RIPK3 activity across vertebrates

    Elizabeth J Fay, Kolya Isterabadi ... Matthew D Daugherty
    Combining phylogenetic analyses and functional assays to study the receptor interacting protein kinase family reveals conserved and non-conserved functions in immune signaling across vertebrates.

    Decoupling both local and global abundance from global range size, challenging the abundance-occupancy relationship in birds

    Shinichi Nakagawa, William K Cornwell, Corey T Callaghan
    Analysis of 3 billion bird observations finds no intrinsic abundance-occupancy relationship, overturning a famous macroecological rule and redefining approaches to biodiversity assessment and conservation.

    Structural mechanisms of PIP2 activation and SEA0400 inhibition in human cardiac sodium-calcium exchanger NCX1

    Jing Xue, Weizhong Zeng ... Youxing Jiang
    Cryo-EM structures of HsNCX1 in complex with either phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (a physiological activator) or SEA0400 (a pharmacological inhibitor) provide mechanistic insights into the cellular regulation and pharmacology of NCX proteins.

    Brochosomes as an antireflective camouflage coating for leafhoppers

    Wei Wu, Qianzhuo Mao ... Jian-Ping Chen
    Leafhoppers evade predators using nanostructured brochosomes that reduce ultraviolet reflectance through morphology shaped by four novel structural proteins originating from evolutionary duplication–divergence processes.

    Quantification of the effect of hemodynamic occlusion in two-photon imaging of mouse cortex

    Baba Yogesh, Matthias Heindorf ... Georg B Keller
    Hemodynamic occlusion introduces a spatially heterogenous confound to activity measurements using two-photon and widefield imaging in mouse cortex, and needs to be taken into consideration when interpreting functional imaging data.

    Diet modulates the therapeutic effects of dimethyl fumarate mediated by the immunometabolic neutrophil receptor HCAR2

    Joanna Kosinska, Julian C Assmann ... Markus Schwaninger
    The therapeutic effect of dimethyl fumarate in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis depends on the diet of mice and is mediated by the G protein-coupled receptor HCAR2 in neutrophils.

    Comparative analysis of the syncytiotrophoblast in placenta tissue and trophoblast organoids using snRNA sequencing

    Madeline M Keenen, Liheng Yang ... Carolyn B Coyne
    Trophoblast organoids recapitulate syncytiotrophoblast nuclear heterogeneity and reveal environment-dependent gene regulation critical for placental hormone production and differentiation.
