Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist and experimental model for schizophrenia, produces decision-making deficits in monkeys, which are predicted by a lowering of cortical excitation-inhibition balance in a spiking circuit model.
Quantitative analyses of yeast P bodies reveals a small number of highly concentrated proteins and many weakly concentrated proteins, suggesting that the compartments are compositionally simpler than previously thought.
Male-type aggressive and courtship behaviors of the fruit flies are differentially specified by two sex-determining genes, providing a substrate for the evolution to sculpt these two behaviors independently.

Time-course phosphoproteomics reveals that selective dephosphorylation is critical for directing the MI/MII transition and that, through its inherent phospho-threonine preference, PP2A-B55 imposes specific phosphoregulated behaviors that distinguish the two meiotic divisions.

HILARy is a new algorithm for grouping B-cell receptor sequences into distinct lineages, a crucial task to analyze immune response and memory through repertoire sequencing.

SAC9 prevents the accumulation of PI(4,5)P2 in intracellular compartments, thereby contributing to clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the plasma membrane and regulating the cortical localization of its protein partner SH3P2.
A new role is identified for GLI1 in modulating the inflammatory response of macrophages and the overaction of osteoclasts in collagen-induced arthritis by collaboratively regulating DNMT1 and DNMT3a.
Mutations that affect a metabolic network generically exhibit epistasis, which propagates to higher level phenotypes, such as fitness, carrying some information about the network’s topology.
Maladaptive changes of pro-nociceptive neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala drive the chronification of muscle pain and comorbid affective behaviors.
