Degradation products of polysaccharides trigger partial population dispersal and alter cellular metabolism, shaping the marine biomass decomposition by foraging bacteria.

Neural sensory representations impose an inductive bias over the space of learning tasks, allowing some tasks to be learned by a downstream neuron more sample-efficiently than others.

Differential binding kinetics of a master regulator to its target promoters can prevent spontaneous cell fate loss in a Caenorhabditis elegans neuron whose fate is controlled by a reversible switch.

The evolutionarily conserved polarity protein Crumbs links the regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-cell adhesion with epithelial morphogenesis.

Activation of the key regulator of cytokinesis, RhoA, involves an unexpected contribution by a RhoGAP domain.

Single-molecule localization imaging shows that the Nipah virus fusion protein forms nanoscale clusters on cell and viral membranes that favor membrane fusion activation.

Deep mutational scanning reveals interactions in the MET kinase domain that are critical for regulation and cancer-related signaling.

Integrative structural biology reveals a conformational equilibrium in the Box C/D methylation enzyme that regulates the extent of site-specific 2'-O-rRNA methylation in dependence of the RNA sequence.

Wnt distribution is regulated by a dynamic exchange of its abundant scaffold-bound and rare freely diffusing populations, providing insights into a conceived dilemma of speed and stability of tissue patterning.

Gating currents analysis at different Ca²⁺ concentrations of BK channels reveals a strong allosteric coupling between Ca²⁺- and voltage-sensing modules via equivalent contributions exerted by the RCK1 and RCK2 Ca²⁺-sites.
