    Notochord vacuoles absorb compressive bone growth during zebrafish spine formation

    Jennifer Bagwell, James Norman ... Michel Bagnat
    Live imaging and genetic analyses revealed that notochord vacuoles play a critical role in spine morphogenesis by absorbing vertebral bone growth, thus implicating notochord mechanics in congenital scoliosis.

    Kinesin Kif2C in regulation of DNA double strand break dynamics and repair

    Songli Zhu, Mohammadjavad Paydar ... Aimin Peng
    Kinesin Kif2C is recruited to DNA damage sites, modulates the mobility and dynamics of DNA damage foci, and promotes DNA double strand break repair.

    Casein kinase 1 dynamics underlie substrate selectivity and the PER2 circadian phosphoswitch

    Jonathan M Philpott, Rajesh Narasimamurthy ... Carrie L Partch
    A conformational switch in the Casein Kinase 1 activation loop controls substrate preference to regulate the abundance of the clock protein PERIOD2 and circadian timekeeping.

    Body height in young adult men and risk of dementia later in adult life

    Terese Sara Høj Jørgensen, Gunhild Tidemann Okholm ... Merere Osler
    Taller body height in young adulthood, as marker of early-life environment, is associated with lower risk of dementia diagnosis independently of cognitive reserve and family factors shared among brothers.

    Using subthreshold events to characterize the functional architecture of the electrically coupled inferior olive network

    Yaara Lefler, Oren Amsalem ... Yosef Yarom
    Non-synaptic electrical events recorded simultaneously from pairs of neurons in the inferior olive nucleus enables accurate estimation of the size and of the clustered organization of the electrically coupled network.

    Longitudinal trajectories, correlations and mortality associations of nine biological ages across 20-years follow-up

    Xia Li, Alexander Ploner ... Sara Hägg
    Biological ages have the potential to provide aging-related information beyond chronological age and can be predictive of mortality independently of both chronological age and different types of biological ages.
