    Yeast cell responses and survival during periodic osmotic stress are controlled by glucose availability

    Fabien Duveau, Céline Cordier ... Pascal Hersen
    Microfluidic methods are used to quantitatively probe single yeast cells' response to either simultaneous or sequential stresses, revealing the dynamic interplay between two antagonistic inputs, osmotic stress and glucose starvation.

    Integrative analysis of DNA replication origins and ORC-/MCM-binding sites in human cells reveals a lack of overlap

    Mengxue Tian, Zhenjia Wang ... Chongzhi Zang
    The ~20,000 origins of replication in human cell lines that are reproducibly identified by multiple techniques in multiple cell lines are distant from known origin recognition complex and MCM2-7-binding sites.

    A concerted increase in readthrough and intron retention drives transposon expression during aging and senescence

    Kamil Pabis, Diogo Barardo ... Brian K Kennedy
    A majority of transcribed transposons during aging are derived from transcriptional defects, most notably intron retention and transcriptional readthrough.

    Ligand bias underlies differential signaling of multiple FGFs via FGFR1

    Kelly Karl, Nuala Del Piccolo ... Kalina Hristova
    Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligands exhibit different preferences for signaling cascades triggered through FGFR1, a receptor which is critical for skeletal development, and these differences likely contribute to the amazing complexity of developmental processes.

    The embryonic role of juvenile hormone in the firebrat, Thermobia domestica, reveals its function before its involvement in metamorphosis

    James W Truman, Lynn M Riddiford ... Michelle Herko
    This sesquiterpene hormone likely acted as a morphogenesis-to-differentiation switch in archaic embryos before it evolved its postembryonic function as the status quo regulator of insect metamorphosis.

    Ocular dominance-dependent binocular combination of monocular neuronal responses in macaque V1

    Sheng-Hui Zhang, Xing-Nan Zhao ... Cong Yu
    Binocular combination of monocular neuronal responses involves response suppression for neurons more preferring one eye and response enhancement for neurons more preferring both eyes in macaque V1.

    Stimulation of VTA dopamine inputs to LH upregulates orexin neuronal activity in a DRD2-dependent manner

    Masaya Harada, Laia Serratosa Capdevila ... Tommaso Patriarchi
    Optogenetic manipulation and photometry recordings in the lateral hypothalamus show how interactions between dopamine and orexin systems underlie reward expectation revealing dopaminergic modulation of orexinergic activity via D2 receptors.

    Expanding the Drosophila toolkit for dual control of gene expression

    Jonathan Zirin, Barbara Jusiak ... Norbert Perrimon
    A CRISPR knock-in approach enables the efficient generation of tissue-specific LexA and QF driver lines which can simultaneously control gene expression in multiple tissues.

    Space as a scaffold for rotational generalisation of abstract concepts

    Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau, Christopher Summerfield
    Spatial mapping serves as a cognitive scaffold for acquiring abstract conceptual invariances across sensory domains, shedding light on the mechanisms of human learning.

    Vitamin D constrains inflammation by modulating the expression of key genes on Chr17q12-21.1

    Ayse Kilic, Arda Halu ... Scott T Weiss
    Vitamin D regulates two human chromosomal loci, Chr17q12-21.1 and Chr17q21.2, that are associated with autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases.
