    Balance between breadth and depth in human many-alternative decisions

    Alice Vidal, Salvador Soto-Faraco, Rubén Moreno-Bote
    A novel experimental paradigm investigating how humans manage limited search capacity over many alternatives reveals close-to-optimal behaviours and identifies heuristics used to minimize computation with little impact on performance.

    Signal denoising through topographic modularity of neural circuits

    Barna Zajzon, David Dahmen ... Renato Duarte
    Topographic maps can gradually increase the fidelity of sensory representations and improve signal-to-noise ratio across multiple cortical circuits, a generic architectural feature that depends solely on the modularity of topographic projections and recurrent inhibition.

    Context-dependent modification of PFKFB3 in hematopoietic stem cells promotes anaerobic glycolysis and ensures stress hematopoiesis

    Shintaro Watanuki, Hiroshi Kobayashi ... Keiyo Takubo
    Isotope tracing, mathematical modeling, and single-cell ATP analysis reveal changes in blood cell metabolism under various conditions, showing stressed hematopoietic stem cells support hematopoiesis through glycolytic ATP production via PFKFB3.

    Covalent disruptor of YAP-TEAD association suppresses defective Hippo signaling

    Mengyang Fan, Wenchao Lu ... Nathanael S Gray
    Discovery of potent covalent TEAD palmitoylation inhibitors that represents important tools to investigate the Hippo pathway.

    Characterization of sequence determinants of enhancer function using natural genetic variation

    Marty G Yang, Emi Ling ... Thomas Vierbuchen
    Large-scale, allele-resolved mapping of cis-regulatory function in F1-hybrid mice reveals sequence determinants that control transcription factor binding and enhancer activity in native chromatin context.

    Neural mechanisms of modulations of empathy and altruism by beliefs of others’ pain

    Taoyu Wu, Shihui Han
    Beliefs of others’ pain provide a cognitive basis of human empathy and altruism by modulating empathic brain activity.

    An NKX2-1/ERK/WNT feedback loop modulates gastric identity and response to targeted therapy in lung adenocarcinoma

    Rediet Zewdu, Elnaz Mirzaei Mehrabad ... Eric L Snyder
    Genetically engineered murine models reveal novel mechanisms of cell identity regulation in lung cancer and provide insights into the complex interplay between lineage specifiers and oncogenic signaling pathways in this disease.

    Neural circuit-wide analysis of changes to gene expression during deafening-induced birdsong destabilization

    Bradley M Colquitt, Kelly Li ... Michael S Brainard
    Large-scale gene expression analysis of the songbird brain identifies the molecular and cellular features of vocal motor circuits that are altered by the loss of hearing.

    The structure of behavioral variation within a genotype

    Zachary Werkhoven, Alyssa Bravin ... Benjamin L de Bivort
    Multidimensional analysis of data from high-throughput behavioral assays reveals many independent axes of behavioral variation among inbred animals reared in the same environment.

    Binding affinity landscapes constrain the evolution of broadly neutralizing anti-influenza antibodies

    Angela M Phillips, Katherine R Lawrence ... Michael M Desai
    CR9114, one of the most broadly neutralizing anti-influenza antibodies characterized to date, acquires affinity to divergent HA subtypes sequentially, due to higher order interactions between the nested sets of mutations required for binding each distinct subtype.
