A Short Report allows authors to publish the results of a small number of experiments, provided the conclusion is clear and justified, and the findings are novel and judged to be of high importance.
X-ray crystal structures capture ATP-dependent chalcogenide exchange from selenocyanate at the nitrogenase Fe protein cluster in the absence of the MoFe protein, an unexpected result as the Fe protein cluster is not traditionally perceived as a site of substrate binding.
The developing neocortex exhibits spontaneous network activity with various synchrony levels, and such activity is selectively required during a critical developmental time window for the formation of long-range axonal projections connecting the two cortical hemispheres.
Capsaicin and other vanilloid receptor ligands alter core body temperature by perturbing central thermoregulatory pathways through activation/inhibition of TRPV1 receptors on peripheral sensory nerve fibers.

Genetic analyses provide evidence that adiposity influences vitamin D levels at different timepoints over the lifecourse, suggesting that associations previously reported between vitamin D deficiency and disease by conventional epidemiological studies may have been prone to confounding.
A previously developed multi-ancestry polygenic risk score is potentially an effective prostate cancer risk stratification tool across ancestry populations.

Hearing a single auditory error while speaking causes an adaptive change that corrects for that error the next time we say a word, providing empirical support for current models of speech sensorimotor adaptation and aligning speech with other motor domains.
