CTFFIND5 estimates the thickness and tilt of cryogenic electron microscopy samples directly from the power spectrum of a single exposure.

Identification of two arbuscular mycorrhiza-specific lipid biosynthesis mutants and fatty acid transfer experiments reveal that host plant lipids are transferred to symbiotic fungi and needed for their development.

Bioinformatic and biochemical studies provide evidence that covalently bound flavins are common and participate in wide-ranging extracytosolic redox activities throughout bacterial life.

A human endogenous fusogen, syncytin, which facilitates placental cell-cell fusion during early embryonic development, mediates the formation of open-ended membrane tubular connections between other cell types that efficiently promotes the intercellular transfer of cytoplasmic cargos including Cas9 protein and organelles.

Chronic exposure to poor optical quality causes a functional reallocation of sensory processing resources that favors perceptual information less affected by the eye's optics.

Genetic and electrophysiological analyses reveal that the mechanisms orchestrating the induction and expression of homeostatic plasticity are compartmentalized and operate with exquisite specificity on both sides of the synapse.

After shaking hands with a stranger, human volunteers often subliminally bring their hand to their nose and sniff it, possibly to collect important olfactory information.

The axial organization and dynamics of the HOPS complex at membrane surface are resolved by graphene-induced energy transfer with subnanometer resolution.

Upon retrieval, the angular gyrus recombines distinct, consolidated schema components into one memory representation.

Diversification of a conserved cholesterol binder drives functional replacement of cholesterol with symbiont-produced sterols in corals living in nutrient-poor environments.
