    Pleiotropy increases parallel selection signatures during adaptation from standing genetic variation

    Wei-Yun Lai, Sheng-Kai Hsu ... Christian Schlötterer
    Evolved gene expression changes in Drosophila simulans uncovered the interplay between parallel evolution, polymorphism, and pleiotropy and indicated that both direct and indirect effects of pleiotropy contribute to parallel evolution.

    Oncogenic and teratogenic effects of Trp53Y217C, an inflammation-prone mouse model of the human hotspot mutant TP53Y220C

    Sara Jaber, Eliana Eldawra ... Franck Toledo
    In a mouse model of the hotspot mutant TP53Y220C, the mutant p53 exhibited oncogenic gain of function in males and teratogenic gain of function in females, both correlated with inflammation.

    Somatodendritic orientation determines tDCS-induced neuromodulation of Purkinje cell activity in awake mice

    Carlos A Sánchez-León, Guillermo Sánchez-Garrido Campos ... Javier Márquez-Ruiz
    The neuromodulatory effects of cerebellar tDCS depend on Purkinje cell somatodendritic orientation relative to the electric field, revealing a key factor for optimizing stimulation protocols and computational models.

    Treacle’s ability to form liquid-like phase condensates is essential for nucleolar fibrillar center assembly, efficient rRNA transcription and processing, and rRNA gene repair

    Artem K Velichko, Nadezhda V Petrova ... Omar L Kantidze
    Treacle condensation, driven by alternating charge blocks, facilitates interactions with transcription factors to spatially segregate ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing, while also recruiting TOPBP1 for activation of the rDNA damage response.

    Food intake enhances hippocampal sharp wave-ripples

    Ekin Kaya, Evan Wegienka ... Gideon Rothschild
    Hippocampal sharp wave-ripples during sleep are enhanced by food intake in a calorie-dependent manner and are associated with increased activity of lateral hypothalamic GABAergic neurons.

    Enteric glia regulate Paneth cell secretion and intestinal microbial ecology

    Aleksandra Prochera, Anoohya N Muppirala ... Meenakshi Rao
    Genetic depletion of enteric glia in vivo disrupts antimicrobial peptide secretion by Paneth cells to change fecal microbial composition but does not broadly alter other intestinal programs.

    Prophage-encoded Hm-oscar gene recapitulates Wolbachia-induced male-killing in the tea tortrix moth Homona magnanima

    Hiroshi Arai, Susumu Katsuma ... Daisuke Kageyama
    Oscar homologs play a conserved role in Wolbachia-induced male-killing in Lepidoptera but not in other insects, highlighting the evolution of diverse male-killing mechanisms induced by Wolbachia.

    Developing a crop- wild-reservoir pathogen system to understand pathogen evolution and emergence

    Mark McMullan, Lawrence Percival-Alwyn ... Neil Hall
    Evidence for those pathogen genes selected specifically for success on crops.

    Dynamic gamma modulation of hippocampal place cells predominates development of theta sequences

    Ning Wang, Yimeng Wang ... Dong Ming
    A subset of hippocampal place cells, which is phase-locked to fast gamma rhythms, compressively encodes information at precessing slow gamma phases and therefore predominates to theta sequence development.

    Mechanisms that regulate the C1-C2B mutual inhibition control functional switch of UNC-13

    Haowen Liu, Lei Li ... Zhitao Hu
    A novel mechanistic mechanism in UNC-13/Munc13 regulates synaptic neurotransmitter release at the Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junction.
