Swine populations worldwide are sporadically infected by influenza viruses from humans and birds leading to geographically heterogeneous swine influenza virus populations that pose epizootic and pandemic threats.

The frequency content of resting-state fMRI signals contains information that can characterize and predict local variations in hemodynamic response timing which enhances the temporal precision of fMRI.

A key Ras-driven signaling pathway stimulates the preferential translation of an effector, EPSTI1, that is both necessary and sufficient for the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like phenotype in colorectal cancer cells.

Human cells respond to cytoplasmic mRNA depletion during early apoptosis by inhibiting RNA polymerase II transcription, thereby magnifying the gene expression shutdown during stress.

Intracranial recordings of human brain activity during awakening from general anesthesia exhibit a brief brain state not seen during loss of consciousness, in which stimuli elicit large electrophysiological responses that resemble those seen in sleep.

A neural circuit that can selectively induce sleep-like patterns in small regions of the brain demonstrates how sleep and arousal states may be controlled in local brain regions.

Unique mechanisms of genetic exchange in the important protozoan pathogen Trypanosome cruzi were characterized in detail using genome analyses of hybrid clones at different time points, showing initial tetraploids followed by genome erosion.

Sound cues that were associated with memories during wake elicit memory reactivations when replayed to human participants during rapid eye movement sleep, those memory reactivations are identifiable by machine learning models that directly relate electroencephalography patterns of wake and sleep.

A combination of cryo-electron microscopy, structure prediction, and evolutionary analyses reveal several functional states of the dynamic protein translocation machinery at the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum.

Tension is the activating stimulus of Piezo1 mechanosensitive ion channels and resting membrane tension modulates overall channel sensitivity to mechanical stimulation.
