Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and adaptation of biomineralization during the Cambrian explosion.

The bacterial AAA+ chaperone ClpL recognizes aggregated proteins via multiple contacts of its unique N-terminal domain and refolds them with high efficiency providing superior heat resistance.

Evidence of a relationship between substrate curvature, water evaporation and the building behavior of termites capable of mediating collective nest-building with no need for a building pheromone.

Cryo-EM studies of doublet microtubules from wild-type and acetylation mutants suggest that acetylation of K40 affects the lateral rotational angle between protofilaments, leading to changes in the structure and stability.

Alterations in mTOR signaling drive similar dysregulations in the critical mid-fetal neurodevelopmental processes of neurite outgrowth and cell migration in two distinct subsets of autism, idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion.

Structural comparison and electrophysiology of OSCA channels shed light on potential structural features influencing response to poke stimulus.

Optical imaging from macaque monkeys performing a detection task reveals the contribution of neural populations in V1 to the phenomenon of camouflage, where detectability decreases with target-background similarity.

Despite highly conserved sequences, subtle variations in HP1 paralog charge distribution influence distinct liquid-liquid phase separation behaviors, ultimately impacting DNA-mediated heterochromatin organization.
