The intrinsic disorder of the circadian clock protein Frequency organizes binding partners, facilitates liquid–liquid phase separation, modulates Frequency phosphorylation, and derives from sequence properties conserved with homologous clock components.
A new Bayesian algorithm for tracking subjects’ choice strategies on every trial reveals when subjects learn and what they tried while doing so, providing strong evidence that reward- and loss-driven exploration change independently.
Live imaging, transcriptional profiling and mouse models demonstrated that the mesenchyme controls the growth pace but not the mode of branching of the mammary epithelium and unveiled a unique function for Igf1/Igfr1 in embryonic development mammary gland.

In response to disruption of barrier functions mediated by septate junctions, Drosophila epithelial cells restrict endosomal degradation of transmembrane cell adhesion proteins to promote their recycling in order to maintain tissue integrity.

The structure of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 bound to Huntington’s chorea drug tetrabenazine elucidates mechanisms of inhibition and neurotransmitter transport.
Genetic analysis of Hippo pathway kinases in a close unicellular relative of animals suggests an ancestral role of this ancient pathway in regulating cytoskeletal dynamics and density of multicellular aggregates.
The number of sporozoites expelled by mosquitoes that are infected with lab-cultured or naturally circulating Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes is heterogeneous and associated with the sporozoite load in their salivary glands.
