    Clusters of cooperative ion channels enable a membrane-potential-based mechanism for short-term memory

    Paul Pfeiffer, Alexei V Egorov ... Susanne Schreiber
    Independently gating ion channels typically act fast within milliseconds, but cooperative interactions within a cluster of channels allow for a memory of previous electrical activity for several seconds.

    Dynamics of cooperative excavation in ant and robot collectives

    S Ganga Prasath, Souvik Mandal ... L Mahadevan
    Observations of ant excavation from a confining corral, along with theoretical models and synthetic robot experiments show the emergence of cooperation induced by pheromones in a malleable environment that is moulded by and moulds collective behavior.

    Climate-mediated cooperation promotes niche expansion in burying beetles

    Syuan-Jyun Sun, Dustin R Rubenstein ... Sheng-Feng Shen
    Cooperation enables burying beetles to outcompete flies and adapt to a wider range of temperatures as thermal generalists.

    Shearing in flow environment promotes evolution of social behavior in microbial populations

    Gurdip Uppal, Dervis Can Vural
    Shearing in fluid flow induces or enhances budding dispersal in microbial populations, resulting in stronger cooperative behavior.

    Community-level cohesion without cooperation

    Mikhail Tikhonov
    A model of purely competitive ecological dynamics is shown to be equivalent to adaptive evolution of a single individual, suggesting a new way to formalize the "superorganism" metaphor.

    Harbouring public good mutants within a pathogen population can increase both fitness and virulence

    Richard J Lindsay, Michael J Kershaw ... Ivana Gudelj
    Cooperation theory and a novel synthetic infection system provides a mechanistic understanding of why a seemingly successful disease management strategy can have devastating consequences for infected hosts.

    Cooperation between a hierarchical set of recruitment sites targets the X chromosome for dosage compensation

    Sarah Elizabeth Albritton, Anna-Lena Kranz ... Sevinc Ercan
    Gene regulatory elements can target a chromatin regulatory complex to a single chromosome in the genome through hierarchical specification and long distance cooperation.

    Klf5 regulates muscle differentiation by directly targeting muscle-specific genes in cooperation with MyoD in mice

    Shinichiro Hayashi, Ichiro Manabe ... Yumiko Oishi
    The regulatory programs governing skeletal muscle regeneration that are controlled by Klf5 in cooperation with MyoD and Mef2 provide a potential avenue for intervention into muscle regeneration through modulation of Klf5.

    Self-establishing communities enable cooperative metabolite exchange in a eukaryote

    Kate Campbell, Jakob Vowinckel ... Markus Ralser
    A eukaryotic cell model overcomes metabolic deficiencies within a complex, self-establishing community that enables the growth-relevant exchange of metabolic intermediates.

    Integrative small and long RNA omics analysis of human healing and nonhealing wounds discovers cooperating microRNAs as therapeutic targets

    Zhuang Liu, Letian Zhang ... Ning Xu Landén
    A comprehensive microRNA expression and function landscape of human wounds unraveled miRNAs highly relevant to venous ulcer pathology.
