    Linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech at a cocktail party

    Paz Har-shai Yahav, Elana Zion Golumbic
    Syntactic structure-building processes can be applied to speech that is task-irrelevant and should be ignored, demonstrating that Selective Attention does not fully eliminate linguistic processing of competing speech.

    Pleiotropic mutations can rapidly evolve to directly benefit self and cooperative partner despite unfavorable conditions

    Samuel Frederick Mock Hart, Chi-Chun Chen, Wenying Shou
    Mutations that directly benefit both self and cooperative partner can readily evolve to promote cooperation.

    Loss of p53 suppresses replication-stress-induced DNA breakage in G1/S checkpoint deficient cells

    Bente Benedict, Tanja van Harn ... Hein te Riele
    During tumorigenesis loss of p53 not only abrogates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, but also suppresses the induction of replication-stress-induced DNA double-stranded breaks.

    Thermal phenotypic plasticity of pre- and post-copulatory male harm buffers sexual conflict in wild Drosophila melanogaster

    Claudia Londoño-Nieto, Roberto García-Roa ... Pau Carazo
    Natural temperature variation across an optimal reproductive range for wild flies (Drosophila melanogaster) modulates the impact of sexual conflict on female fitness via asymmetric effects on pre- and post-copulatory male harm mechanisms.

    Control of PNG kinase, a key regulator of mRNA translation, is coupled to meiosis completion at egg activation

    Masatoshi Hara, Boryana Petrova, Terry L Orr-Weaver
    The kinase that controls maternal mRNA translation is regulated by phosphorylation of its activating subunit to restrict kinase activity to the developmental window between meiosis completion and early embryogenesis.

    Rapid and iterative genome editing in the malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi provides new tools for P. vivax research

    Franziska Mohring, Melissa Natalie Hart ... Robert William Moon
    Optimised genome editing in P. knowlesi enables transgenic expression of a lead P. vivax vaccine candidate, revealing roles in host cell tropisms and providing tools for scalable vaccine efficacy testing.

    Area-specific development of distinct projection neuron subclasses is regulated by postnatal epigenetic modifications

    Kawssar Harb, Elia Magrinelli ... Christian Alfano
    Lmo4 specifies two neuron subclasses in the mouse neocortex by promoting postnatal co-expression of the transcription factors Ctip2 and Satb2 via chromatin remodelling in a time and area-specific manner.

    Humans perseverate on punishment avoidance goals in multigoal reinforcement learning

    Paul B Sharp, Evan M Russek ... Eran Eldar
    Humans perseverate on previously instructed goals in a novel multigoal reinforcement learning task, and do this to a greater extent for punishment avoidance goals.

    Mono-methylated histones control PARP-1 in chromatin and transcription

    Gbolahan Bamgbose, Guillaume Bordet ... Alexei Tulin
    Genome-wide PARP-1 binding analysis advances the understanding of molecular mechanisms governing gene regulation in response to developmental cues and environmental stressors.

    Pum2 and TDP-43 refine area-specific cytoarchitecture post-mitotically and modulate translation of Sox5, Bcl11b, and Rorb mRNAs in developing mouse neocortex

    Kawssar Harb, Melanie Richter ... Kent Duncan
    RNA-binding proteins use both translational activation and repression of key molecular determinants to post-mitotically sculpt the identity and connectivity of developing mouse neocortex in an area-specific manner.
