Contrasting climatic dependencies of macrofauna and microorganisms generate similar whole-community decomposition rates across a precipitation gradient, plausibly resolving the longstanding puzzle of why arid-land litter decomposition is decoupled from precipitation.

Recovery of proteins from aggregates by Hsp70 is boosted by the Hsp110 co-chaperone, which promotes abundant Hsp70 recruitment to aggregates and supports initial aggregate remodelling into small assemblies.

The hyperpolarization-activated inward current plays an important role in regulating both smooth transitory responses and persistent increases in pyloric frequency during temperature fluctuations in Cancer borealis.

Introducing the optorepressilator, a synthetic genetic oscillator that can be synchronized, entrained, and detuned by green light to precisely control periodic gene expression in single cells or entire bacterial populations.

In response to ethanol stress, the yeast transcription factor Hsf1 forms nuclear condensates and drives the coalescence of target genes prior to their transcriptional activation while in response to thermal stress these three phenomena are tightly coordinated.

The yeast APC/C cryo-EM structure reveals substantial similarities with the human APC/C structure but also important differences in mechanisms of phosphorylation-dependent regulation and activation by coactivators.
