    Ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptor-cell circuits form a spectral depth gauge in marine zooplankton

    Csaba Verasztó, Martin Gühmann ... Gáspár Jékely
    In a zooplankton larva, ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells work antagonistically to form a spectral depth gauge.

    Lysine-14 acetylation of histone H3 in chromatin confers resistance to the deacetylase and demethylase activities of an epigenetic silencing complex

    Mingxuan Wu, Dawn Hayward ... Philip A Cole
    Biochemical approaches reveal that an epigenetic histone deacetylase complex called CoREST is slow to deacetylate histone H3 lysine-14 in nucleosomes, and this inhibits demethylation of histone H3 lysine-4 by the CoREST complex.

    Metabolic co-dependence drives the evolutionarily ancient Hydra–Chlorella symbiosis

    Mayuko Hamada, Katja Schröder ... Thomas CG Bosch
    The symbiotic relationship between Hydra and Chlorella is driven by metabolic co-dependence and characterized by changes in the photobiont genome in terms of lack of genes essential in free-living algae.

    Glucocorticoid receptor-mediated amygdalar metaplasticity underlies adaptive modulation of fear memory by stress

    Ran Inoue, Kareem Abdou ... Hisashi Mori
    Behavioral analyses and an optogenetic approach reveal an existence of GR-mediated metaplasticity in the LA and its link with adaptive fear response to auditory cues in a stressful condition.

    NK cells inhibit Plasmodium falciparum growth in red blood cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity

    Gunjan Arora, Geoffrey T Hart ... Eric O Long
    Red blood cells infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are destroyed by human natural killer cells in the presence of antibodies from people who have acquired clinical immunity to malaria.

    The human leukemia virus HTLV-1 alters the structure and transcription of host chromatin in cis

    Anat Melamed, Hiroko Yaguchi ... Charles RM Bangham
    The human leukemia virus HTLV-1 causes abnormal chromatin looping in tens of thousands of infected T cell clones in each host, and abnormal host transcription both flanking the integrated provirus and at distant loci in cis.

    The functional organization of descending sensory-motor pathways in Drosophila

    Shigehiro Namiki, Michael H Dickinson ... Gwyneth M Card
    Systematic analysis of descending neuron anatomy reveals the basic functional map of descending sensory-motor pathways in flies and provides genetic tools for targeted interrogation of neural circuits.

    Adult zebrafish Langerhans cells arise from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells

    Sicong He, Jiahao Chen ... Jin Xu
    Adult zebrafish Langerhans cells are derived from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells but not Erythro-myeloid progenitors.

    Cdc48-like protein of actinobacteria (Cpa) is a novel proteasome interactor in mycobacteria and related organisms

    Michal Ziemski, Ahmad Jomaa ... Eilika Weber-Ban
    Cdc48-like protein of actinobacteria (Cpa) is a AAA+ proteasomal interactor involved in adaptation of mycobacteria to carbon limitation and potentially influencing ribosomal composition of the cell.

    Coordinated neuronal ensembles in primary auditory cortical columns

    Jermyn Z See, Craig A Atencio ... Christoph E Schreiner
    Auditory cortical columns contain small subsets of neurons with highly synchronous activity (cNEs) that create robust sequences of coordinated activity suitable for enhanced information processing and signal transmission beyond the capability of individual neurons.
