    The hydrophobic nature of a novel membrane interface regulates the enzyme activity of a voltage-sensing phosphatase

    Akira Kawanabe, Masaki Hashimoto ... Yasushi Okamura
    Electrophysiological and fluorometric studies of Ci-VSP expressed in Xenopus oocyte revealed two states of the enzyme region with distinct enzyme activity and distinct coupling to the voltage sensor.

    Response to short-term deprivation of the human adult visual cortex measured with 7T BOLD

    Paola Binda, Jan W Kurzawski ... Maria Concetta Morrone
    Two hour deprivation of vision in one eye transiently boosts the representation of the deprived eye (suppressing the non-deprived eye) in adult human V1 and along the ventral pathway.

    Hyperactivation of ERK by multiple mechanisms is toxic to RTK-RAS mutation-driven lung adenocarcinoma cells

    Arun M Unni, Bryant Harbourne ... Harold Varmus
    Cancer cells driven by mutations in KRAS or EGFR are dependent on DUSP6 to prevent ERK-induced cell death, creating a novel vulnerability for targeted therapy.

    Heterogeneous absorption of antimicrobial peptide LL37 in Escherichia coli cells enhances population survivability

    Mehdi Snoussi, John Paul Talledo ... Sattar Taheri-Araghi
    A rapid absorption and retention of antimicrobial peptides by dead Escherichia coli cells can increase the survivability of the cell population in a "cooperative" fashion.

    Perineuronal nets control visual input via thalamic recruitment of cortical PV interneurons

    Giulia Faini, Andrea Aguirre ... Alberto Bacci
    Accumulation of perineuronal nets around parvalbumin (PV)-positive inhibitory interneurons closes visual cortical plasticity by selectively down-regulating thalamic synapses onto PV cells in a sensory-dependent manner.

    Odor-evoked category reactivation in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex during sleep promotes memory consolidation

    Laura K Shanahan, Eva Gjorgieva ... Jay A Gottfried
    Odor cues in sleep evoke content-specific signatures of neural reactivation in visual and prefrontal brain areas that predict subsequent memory performance in the wake state.

    Inference and control of the nosocomial transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

    Sen Pei, Flaviano Morone ... Jeffrey L Shaman
    The asymptomatic colonization and importation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospital settings can be inferred from observed cases using combined model-inference methods and used to inform improved interventions.

    A causal role for right temporo-parietal junction in signaling moral conflict

    Ignacio Obeso, Marius Moisa ... Jean-Claude Dreher
    Disrupting the right temporo-parietal junction did not change the general motivation to give or adapt behavior to social reputation cues, but specifically reduced the impact of moral-material conflict.

    An unexpected noncarpellate epigynous flower from the Jurassic of China

    Qiang Fu, Jose Bienvenido Diez ... Xin Wang
    Flowers did bloom in the Early Jurassic.

    Murine HSCs contribute actively to native hematopoiesis but with reduced differentiation capacity upon aging

    Petter Säwen, Mohamed Eldeeb ... David Bryder
    Using a lineage tracing model, it is demonstrated that adult murine hematopoiesis is contingent on the continuous output from HSCs, with quantitative contributions that are dependent on lineage-type and age.
