    A synthetic peptide that prevents cAMP regulation in mammalian hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels

    Andrea Saponaro, Francesca Cantini ... Anna Moroni
    Cell-penetrating peptide drugs prevent adrenergic regulation of pacemaker channels without altering the overall response of the cell to cAMP.

    Two central pattern generators from the crab, Cancer borealis, respond robustly and differentially to extreme extracellular pH

    Jessica A Haley, David Hampton, Eve Marder
    The rhythms generated by the stomatogastric and cardiac ganglia of the Jonah crab are surprisingly robust but differentially sensitive to acute changes in extracellular pH from pH 5.5 to 10.4.

    Coupling between fast and slow oscillator circuits in Cancer borealis is temperature-compensated

    Daniel Powell, Sara A Haddad ... Eve Marder
    The mechanism that couples two rhythmic circuits is maintained over a large temperature range although both circuits are temperature-sensitive.

    Glucose inhibits cardiac muscle maturation through nucleotide biosynthesis

    Haruko Nakano, Itsunari Minami ... Atsushi Nakano
    During cardiogenesis, the major role of glucose is not the catabolic extraction of energy but the anabolic biosynthesis of nucleotides.
    1. Neuroscience

    Synergistic plasticity of intrinsic conductance and electrical coupling restores synchrony in an intact motor network

    Brian J Lane, Pranit Samarth ... David J Schulz
    Neural networks like the crustacean cardiac ganglion employ multi-faceted compensatory mechanisms to achieve the stability and robustness that are critical to long-term function.

    The GIRK1 subunit potentiates G protein activation of cardiac GIRK1/4 hetero-tetramers

    Kouki K Touhara, Weiwei Wang, Roderick MacKinnon
    The GIRK1 subunit contains a defective Na+-binding site but behaves as if it is permanently bound to a sodium ion, and therefore increases the affinity of Gβγ to GIRK1/4 hetero-tetrameric channels in lipid membranes.

    Metrics of high cofluctuation and entropy to describe control of cardiac function in the stellate ganglion

    Nil Z Gurel, Koustubh B Sudarshan ... Olujimi A Ajijola
    Networked cardiac control, revealed through analysis of extended baseline-state multi-channel recordings, differentiates heart failure and normal regimes highlighting the promise of peripheral neurally based clinical interventions.

    A multi-scale model for hair follicles reveals heterogeneous domains driving rapid spatiotemporal hair growth patterning

    Qixuan Wang, Ji Won Oh ... Maksim V Plikus
    Regional differences in activator and inhibitor signals alter hair cycle pace across mouse skin and produce unique fur renewal 'landscapes', with fastest renewal on the ventrum and slowest renewal on the ear pinnae.
