    A systematic interactome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SET1C expands its functional landscape and identifies candidate regulatory connections

    Pierre Luciano, Kihyun Park ... Vincent Geli
    A comprehensive two-hybrid map of the Set1C interactome broadens understanding of Set1C subunit functions and identifies a novel link between Set1C and arginine methylation.

    Modulating task-outcome value to mitigate real-world procrastination via noninvasive brain stimulation

    Zhiyi Chen, Zhilin Ren ... Tingyong Feng
    The perceived value of task outcomes, rather than task aversiveness, predicts reduced everyday procrastination following transcranial direct current stimulation, and offers a potential target for behavioral intervention.

    The chromokinesin Kid (KIF22) forms a homodimer, moves processively along microtubules, and transports double-stranded DNA

    Shinsuke Niwa, Natsuki Furusaki ... Kyoko Chiba
    Kid is reclassified as a processive chromokinesin that directly couples double-stranded DNA to microtubule-based transport.

    Larger language models better align with neural representations of natural language

    Zhuoqiao Hong, Haocheng Wang ... Ariel Y Goldstein
    Embeddings from larger language models and relatively earlier layers better predict neural activity during natural language.

    Comprehensive RNA velocity by modeling the cascade of gene regulation, transcription, and splicing from single-cell RNA sequencing data with TSvelo

    Jiachen Li, Zhe Wang ... Ye Yuan
    TSvelo provides a comprehensive RNA velocity mathematics framework that can model the cascade of gene regulation, transcription, and splicing.

    Sarcomere dynamic instability and stochastic heterogeneity drive robust cardiomyocyte contraction

    Daniel Haertter, Lara Hauke ... Christoph F Schmidt
    A non-monotonic force–velocity relationship in cardiac sarcomeres causes dynamic instability, leading to stochastic heterogeneity in contracting cardiomyocytes, which can have a protective function.

    Acyl carrier protein is essential for apicoplast biogenesis in malaria parasites independent of fatty acid synthesis

    Sage WR Geher, Seyi Falekun ... Paul A Sigala
    Malaria parasites have evolved a noncanonical function for the apicoplast acyl carrier protein in stabilizing pyruvate kinase II, a metabolic hub essential for isoprenoid synthesis and parasite survival.

    +Clonal stochasticity in early NK cell response to mouse cytomegalovirus is generated by mature subsets of varying proliferative ability

    Darren Wethington, Saeed Ahmad ... Jayajit Das
    Stochastic fluctuations play an important role in the MCMV-induced NK cell clonal expansion that ultimately gives rise to memory NK cells.

    Intersecting experimental evolution and CRISPR screens to identify novel toxin resistance loci

    Michele Marconcini, Steeve Cruchet ... Richard Benton
    Selection of animal populations and of cultured cells provides complementary datasets to identify candidate genes involved in conferring resistance to a natural insecticide.
