    1. Neuroscience

    Spatially patterned excitatory neuron subtypes and projections of the claustrum

    Sarah R Erwin, Brianna N Bristow ... Mark S Cembrowski
    The claustrum comprises spatially patterned excitatory neuron subtypes with distinct molecular and projection properties.

    Single-cell RNA analysis identifies pre-migratory neural crest cells expressing markers of differentiated derivatives

    Ezra Lencer, Rytis Prekeris, Kristin Bruk Artinger
    Pre-migratory and early migratory neural crest cells in zebrafish are transcriptionally diverse, with some cells expressing genes associated with differentiated derivatives while still in the neural tube.

    T cell stiffness is enhanced upon formation of immunological synapse

    Philipp Jung, Xiangda Zhou ... Bin Qu
    Upon activation of T cell receptors at the contact site, T cells were substantially stiffened at the cell body as well as at the lamellipodia, which is mediated by Ca2+.
    1. Neuroscience

    Conserved visual capacity of rats under red light

    Nader Nikbakht, Mathew E Diamond
    Psychometric measures reveal that, contrary to common assumption, rats have good visual form discrimination capacity under red and even far-red illumination.
    1. Ecology

    Matrix-trapped viruses can prevent invasion of bacterial biofilms by colonizing cells

    Matthew C Bond, Lucia Vidakovic ... Carey D Nadell
    Microfluidic culture and high-resolution 3-D microscopy establish that bacteriophages trapped in the outer matrix layers of a bacterial biofilm remain active and can prevent colonization of the biofilm by newly arriving bacteria.
    1. Computational and Systems Biology

    The structural connectome constrains fast brain dynamics

    Pierpaolo Sorrentino, Caio Seguin ... Andrew Zalesky
    The fast spreading of neural activity across the brain has a complex structure, imposed by the white-matter bundles.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    Repurposing eflornithine to treat a patient with a rare ODC1 gain-of-function variant disease

    Surender Rajasekaran, Caleb P Bupp ... André S Bachmann
    Genetic sequencing has led to the increased diagnoses of rare diseases, strategies such as repurposing drugs and global metabolomics offer promise and bring hope to afflicted families.
    1. Microbiology and Infectious Disease

    Genetic depletion studies inform receptor usage by virulent hantaviruses in human endothelial cells

    Maria Eugenia Dieterle, Carles Solà-Riera ... Kartik Chandran
    Several previously proposed cell-surface receptors for hantaviruses could be deleted in endothelial cells with little or no effect on infection, indicating that critical hantavirus entry factors remain undiscovered.
    1. Neuroscience

    The human cerebellum is essential for modulating perceptual sensitivity based on temporal expectations

    Assaf Breska, Richard B Ivry
    Cerebellar degeneration disrupts the use of interval-based temporal cues, but not rhythmic cues, to proactively modulate perceptual sensitivity, implicating the cerebellum in temporal control of visual attention.
    1. Cell Biology

    Scaling of subcellular actin structures with cell length through decelerated growth

    Shane G McInally, Jane Kondev, Bruce L Goode
    The size of a subcellular structure, yeast actin cables, scales with the linear dimensions of the cell, which is achieved by feedback control of their growth rate.
