    The molecular basis of coupling between poly(A)-tail length and translational efficiency

    Kehui Xiang, David P Bartel
    For poly(A)-tail length to influence mRNA translational efficiency, poly(A)-binding protein (PABPC) must be limiting, mRNAs lacking PABPC must be stable, and translation initiation must be sensitive to PABPC levels.

    Myogenic vasoconstriction requires G12/G13 and LARG to maintain local and systemic vascular resistance

    Ramesh Chennupati, Angela Wirth ... Stefan Offermanns
    Genetic mouse models identify a critical mechanism of myogenic vasoconstriction and reveal the in vivo function of myogenic autoregulation in protecting from organ overperfusion and in maintaining vascular resistance.

    A conserved neuropeptide system links head and body motor circuits to enable adaptive behavior

    Shankar Ramachandran, Navonil Banerjee ... Michael M Francis
    Investigation of neuromodulatory control of ethologically conserved area-restricted food search behavior shows that NLP-12 stimulation of the head motor circuit promotes food searching through the previously uncharacterized CKR-1 GPCR.

    A tryparedoxin-coupled biosensor reveals a mitochondrial trypanothione metabolism in trypanosomes

    Samantha Ebersoll, Marta Bogacz ... R Luise Krauth-Siegel
    African trypanosomes have a trypanothione-based mitochondrial thiol redox metabolism.

    Two human brain systems micro-structurally associated with obesity

    Manfred G Kitzbichler, Daniel Martins ... Neil A Harrison
    Revealing two distinct brain systems linked to obesity, this research illuminates the intricate relationship between obesity, brain microstructure and genetics with potential implications for treatment and prevention.

    The genetic factors of bilaterian evolution

    Peter Heger, Wen Zheng ... Thomas Wiehe
    Advanced orthology clustering of bilaterian and non-bilaterian sequences identifies 157 bilaterian-specific genes which are linked to key morphological features of this animal group.
    1. Neuroscience

    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.

    A genetic selection reveals functional metastable structures embedded in a toxin-encoding mRNA

    Sara Masachis, Nicolas J Tourasse ... Fabien Darfeuille
    A genetic selection of toxicity suppressors coupled to high-throughput sequencing has captured metastable RNA structures that co-transcriptionally inhibit the translation of a bacterial toxin.

    Geometric models for robust encoding of dynamical information into embryonic patterns

    Laurent Jutras-Dubé, Ezzat El-Sherif, Paul François
    Propagation, speed and shapes of genetic waves of expression during development can be modeled by a simple interplay between two transcriptional modules (dynamic/static), which explains robustness and precision of patterning.
    1. Neuroscience

    Velocity coupling of grid cell modules enables stable embedding of a low dimensional variable in a high dimensional neural attractor

    Noga Mosheiff, Yoram Burak
    The neural representation of position in the medial entorhinal cortex may be stabilized by synaptic connectivity across modules, which enforces coherent updates in their states.
