    Opposing, spatially-determined epigenetic forces impose restrictions on stochastic olfactory receptor choice

    Elizaveta V Bashkirova, Nell Klimpert ... Stavros Lomvardas
    Dorsoventral gradients of transcription factors NFIA, B, and X impose epigenetic and transcriptional spatial restrictions to olfactory receptor expression.

    Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

    Rachel H Parkinson, Jennifer Scott ... Geraldine A Wright
    Bees are at risk of consuming harmful pesticides found in nectar because they cannot detect them using their mouthparts.

    Major patterns in the introgression history of Heliconius butterflies

    Yuttapong Thawornwattana, Fernando Seixas ... James Mallet
    The full-likelihood multispecies coalescent approach is useful for studying species groups with high rates of introgression from whole-genome sequence data.

    Distinct states of nucleolar stress induced by anticancer drugs

    Tamara A Potapova, Jay R Unruh ... Jennifer L Gerton
    Anticancer compound library screen identified many types of nucleolar stress and revealed an essential role of transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinases in nucleolar structure and function.

    Action does not enhance but attenuates predicted touch

    Xavier Job, Konstantina Kilteni
    A series of pre-registered psychophysical studies on self-touch tested two opposing models of somatosensory attenuation (cancelation) and enhancement (sharpening) regarding how action affects perception, and revealed that action prediction produces an attenuation, and not an enhancement, of the predicted touch.

    Zn2+ is essential for Ca2+ oscillations in mouse eggs

    Hiroki Akizawa, Emily M Lopes, Rafael A Fissore
    Throughout oocyte maturation, there is a simultaneous elevation in the concentrations of Ca2+ and Zn2+, and the fertilization-induced Ca2+ oscillations cease under Zn2+-deficient conditions, implying an interplay between these ions, potentially at the IP3R1 level that harbors a Zn2+-binding domain.

    The reciprocal regulation between mitochondrial-associated membranes and Notch signaling in skeletal muscle atrophy

    Yurika Ito, Mari Yamagata ... Takahiko Sato
    The maintenance of proper mitochondrial-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes is crucial for preventing skeletal muscle atrophy to interact with the Notch signaling pathway.
