Contrary to prior work, principal axes of structural and functional connectivity are established early in life, remaining stable and undergoing refinement throughout development.
A fully computationally designed SaCas9 variant expands PAM recognition to NNNRRT, achieving up to 116-fold higher editing at noncanonical sites while matching the performance of experimentally evolved variants.

Identification of mangostins as potent BK channel activators links natural xanthones to vascular smooth muscle relaxation, providing a mechanistic basis for their reported antihypertensive effects.
Continuous flash suppression reduces V1 orientation responses in an ocular-dominance-dependent manner, which may still allow low-level coarse orientation discrimination but provide insufficient information for higher-level visual and cognitive tasks.
The first all-atom models of the mycobacterial outer membrane reveal how lipid organization and asymmetry generate a structurally heterogeneous barrier that underlies its unique permeability properties.

Multi-omic and bioenergetic profiling in a HER2-driven mouse model of mammary cancer reveals that reduced mitochondrial content does not limit tumor respiratory capacity, which is instead dramatically elevated compared to benign mammary tissue.
Theoretical and computational analyses demonstrate that cell intercalation within epithelial cell layers is analogous to the unbinding of topological defects in hexatic liquid crystals, offering a framework for calculating cellular forces and velocities during collective migration.

In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than by synaptopathy.

Downregulation of the electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase drives pro-tumorigenic metabolic programs via stimulating the mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 signaling across a broad spectrum of cancers.
