Selective synapse formation in a retinal motion-sensitive circuit is orchestrated by starburst amacrine cells, which use homotypic interactions to initiate formation of a dendritic scaffold that recruits projections from circuit partners.

Synaptotagmin 7 is asymmetrically localized to the axonal plasma membrane through γ-secretase processing to promote vesicle docking during short-term synaptic plasticity in mouse hippocampal neurons.

Thousands of novel open-reading frames (ORFs) are translated in the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including many short ORFs that are likely to contribute to cell fitness.

Carbonic anhydrase II features a surface proton antenna that exclusively mediates proton exchange with monocarboxylate transporters to facilitate proton-coupled lactate transport in cancer cells.

In a simple visual task, that in principle could be performed using information in V1 alone, perturbations of secondary visual areas impair perception.

Endothelial cells express a soluble isoform of the L1CAM cell adhesion molecule that is generated by the splicing factor NOVA2 and induces angiogenesis, with relevant implications for ovarian cancer vascularization.

Capsular polysaccharides of Acinetobacter baumannii regulate type VI secretion system activity, balancing self-protection with interbacterial competitiveness.

The association of caveolin with the potassium channel Kv1.3 fine-tunes cell survival and apoptosis.

Localized lignin impregnations, forming a pan-endodermal net-like diffusion barrier strongly relies on stabilizing signals from neighbors.
