    Molecular determinants in Frizzled, Reck, and Wnt7a for ligand-specific signaling in neurovascular development

    Chris Cho, Yanshu Wang ... Jeremy Nathans
    Molecular dissection of Frizzled, Reck, and Wnt7a provides critical insight into the long-standing question of ligand-receptor specificity in the field of Wnt signaling.

    Ant colonies maintain social homeostasis in the face of decreased density

    Andreas P Modlmeier, Ewan Colman ... David P Hughes
    Organizational resilience allows ant colonies to retain high interaction rates in the face of decreased density by altering their spatial and social dynamics.
    1. Neuroscience

    Image content is more important than Bouma’s Law for scene metamers

    Thomas SA Wallis, Christina M Funke ... Matthias Bethge
    Peripheral appearance models emphasising pooling processes that depend on retinal eccentricity will instead need to explore input-dependent grouping and segmentation.

    Binding and transport of D-aspartate by the glutamate transporter homolog GltTk

    Valentina Arkhipova, Gianluca Trinco ... Albert Guskov
    Glutamate transporter homologs can efficiently bind and transport both L- and D- enantiomeric substrates with only slight rearrangements in the binding site.

    Single-cell lineage tracing by endogenous mutations enriched in transposase accessible mitochondrial DNA

    Jin Xu, Kevin Nuno ... Howard Y Chang
    Epigenome and Mitochondrial Barcode of Lineage from Endogenous Mutations (EMBLEM) enable tracking cell lineage in combination with chromatin profile in ATAC-seq data.

    A multicellular way of life for a multipartite virus

    Anne Sicard, Elodie Pirolles ... Stéphane Blanc
    A multipartite virus functionally spreads its distinct genome segments in distinct individual cells of the host plant, and complementation of the viral genes across cells allows a pluricellular infection cycle.
    1. Neuroscience

    Optogenetically induced low-frequency correlations impair perception

    Anirvan Nandy, Jonathan J Nassi ... John Reynolds
    Low-frequency correlations among neurons in monkey visual area V4 impair the animal's ability to perform an attention-demanding task, suggesting a causal role of these fluctuations in perception.

    Emotional faces guide the eyes in the absence of awareness

    Petra Vetter, Stephanie Badde ... Marisa Carrasco
    When emotional faces are rendered invisible, our eyes look towards fearful faces and away from angry faces.

    The presence and absence of periplasmic rings in bacterial flagellar motors correlates with stator type

    Mohammed Kaplan, Debnath Ghosal ... Grant J Jensen
    A correlation between the periplasmic embellishment of the flagellar motor and its stator system type is described, motors with dual H+-dependent stator systems have one periplasmic ring formed by MotY.

    High resolution cryo-EM structure of the helical RNA-bound Hantaan virus nucleocapsid reveals its assembly mechanisms

    Benoît Arragain, Juan Reguera ... Hélène Malet
    Hantaan virus nucleocapsid cryo-EM structure determined at 3.3 Å resolution reveals how nucleoproteins assemble into a metastable helix containing a continuous RNA-binding groove compatible with genome encapsidation and compaction.
