    Allosteric mechanism of signal transduction in the two-component system histidine kinase PhoQ

    Bruk Mensa, Nicholas F Polizzi ... William F DeGrado
    Mutations along the signaling pathway of the E. coli sensor histidine kinase PhoQ alter signal gain and ligand-sensitivity by altering thermodynamic allosteric coupling between domains.

    Cue- versus reward-encoding basolateral amygdala projections to nucleus accumbens

    Yi He, Yanhua H Huang ... Yan Dong
    Two distinct projections from the basolateral amygdala to nucleus accumbens differentially contribute to cue- versus reward-mediated behavioral reinforcement.

    Disruption of thalamic functional connectivity is a neural correlate of dexmedetomidine-induced unconsciousness

    Oluwaseun Akeju, Marco L Loggia ... Patrick L Purdon
    Patterns of communication between the thalamus and the cortex are correlated with anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness and recovery.

    Inducible depletion of adult skeletal muscle stem cells impairs the regeneration of neuromuscular junctions

    Wenxuan Liu, Lan Wei-LaPierre ... Joe V Chakkalakal
    Skeletal muscle stem cells play important roles in the regeneration of neuromuscular junctions, and so present new targets for therapies to treat neuromuscular decline observed in the context of aging and various neuromuscular diseases.

    A synergistic workspace for human consciousness revealed by Integrated Information Decomposition

    Andrea I Luppi, Pedro AM Mediano ... Emmanuel A Stamatakis
    Anaesthesia and disorders of consciousness both reduce the capacity of the human brain to integrate information, specifically targeting interactions within a shared circuit of regions in the brain’s default network.

    Macro-connectomics and microstructure predict dynamic plasticity patterns in the non-human primate brain

    Sean Froudist-Walsh, Philip GF Browning ... Paula L Croxson
    Brain recovery after injury can be predicted based on its activity and structure, which may allow us to understand why some brain injuries lead to permanent loss of cognitive function, while others do not.

    Inter-membrane association of the Sec and BAM translocons for bacterial outer-membrane biogenesis

    Sara Alvira, Daniel W Watkins ... Ian Collinson
    The protein translocation apparatus of the inner- (Sec) and outer-membrane (BAM) interact to form a trans-periplasmic super-complex capable of long-range, PMF-dependent conformational changes to facilitate efficient outer-membrane protein maturation.

    The HCN domain couples voltage gating and cAMP response in hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels

    Alessandro Porro, Andrea Saponaro ... Anna Moroni
    Experimental and computational approaches reveal how ligand binding is coupled to voltage sensing in a HCN channels.

    A new motor synergy that serves the needs of oculomotor and eye lid systems while keeping the downtime of vision minimal

    Mohammad Farhan Khazali, Joern K Pomper ... Peter Thier
    Involuntary eye movements that keep images positioned over the center of the retina are synchronized with blinks to minimize disruption to vision.

    A meta-analysis of threats to valid clinical inference in preclinical research of sunitinib

    Valerie C Henderson, Nadine Demko ... Jonathan Kimmelman
    Preclinical efficacy experiments testing sunitinib in animal cancer models display a lack of methodological rigour, with trim-and-fill analysis suggesting prominent publication bias that leads to an overestimation of treatment effect.
