    Possible magneto-mechanical and magneto-thermal mechanisms of ion channel activation in magnetogenetics

    Mladen Barbic
    Several new magneto-mechanical and magneto-thermal mechanisms of ion channel activation in magnetogenetics are proposed that may explain some of the mysteries that challenge current understanding of the magnetogenetics experiments.

    Rapid learning of predictive maps with STDP and theta phase precession

    Tom M George, William de Cothi ... Caswell Barry
    A close approximation to the successor representation is learnt by a simple spike-time-dependent learning rule between cells undergoing theta phase precession.

    Coverage and system efficiencies of insecticide-treated nets in Africa from 2000 to 2017

    Samir Bhatt, Daniel J Weiss ... Peter W Gething
    Insecticide-treated net requirements for Africa have been underestimated, but mitigating for inefficiencies in net distributions can produce a cost effective path to universal coverage.

    Transition to siblinghood causes a substantial and long-lasting increase in urinary cortisol levels in wild bonobos

    Verena Behringer, Andreas Berghänel ... Gottfried Hohmann
    In wild bonobos, sibling birth induced a sudden increase in urinary cortisol levels in the older offspring, a physiological response that occurred in all subjects and was independent of their age.

    Retrograde ERK activation waves drive base-to-apex multicellular flow in murine cochlear duct morphogenesis

    Mamoru Ishii, Tomoko Tateya ... Tsuyoshi Hirashima
    Live-cell imaging and mathematical modeling reveal the physical basis of collective cell migration underlying spiral cochlear duct formation during murine inner ear development.

    Physical basis of large microtubule aster growth

    Keisuke Ishihara, Kirill S Korolev, Timothy J Mitchison
    Autocatalytic growth of a microtubule polymer network allows extremely large egg cells to self-organize and divide rapidly.
