    A novel DNA primase-helicase pair encoded by SCCmec elements

    Aleksandra Bebel, Melissa A Walsh ... Phoebe A Rice
    SCCmec genomic islands encode a novel primase-helicase pair in which priming ability is conferred upon an A-family DNA polymerase domain by a novel protein cofactor.

    DMT alters cortical travelling waves

    Andrea Alamia, Christopher Timmermann ... Robin L Carhart-Harris
    Psychedelics induce a pattern of cortical activity very similar to the one observed during visual perception, despite participants had shut eyes.

    Cerebellar patients have intact feedback control that can be leveraged to improve reaching

    Amanda M Zimmet, Di Cao ... Noah J Cowan
    A control system model of cerebellar patients' movements provides insight into the cerebellum's role in reaching and informs a virtual reality intervention to improve patient reaches.

    Structural insights into mRNA reading frame regulation by tRNA modification and slippery codon–anticodon pairing

    Eric D Hoffer, Samuel Hong ... Christine M Dunham
    Chemical modifications near the tRNA anticodon and specific mRNA–tRNA pairs combine to control the ribosomal three-nucleotide mRNA reading frame, essential for the sequential addition of amino acids into polypeptide chains.

    A large accessory protein interactome is rewired across environments

    Zhimin Liu, Darach Miller ... Sasha F Levy
    A massively multiplexed multi-condition screen shows that protein interactomes are larger than previously thought and contain highly dynamic regions that reorganize to drive or respond to cellular changes.

    Artemisinin exposure at the ring or trophozoite stage impacts Plasmodium falciparum sexual conversion differently

    Harvie P Portugaliza, Shinya Miyazaki ... Alfred Cortés
    Treatment of malaria parasites with the frontline antimalarial drug artemisinin can increase the proportion of parasites that convert into transmission forms.
