    Spatial modulation of individual behaviors enables an ordered structure of diverse phenotypes during bacterial group migration

    Yang Bai, Caiyun He ... Xiongfei Fu
    Bacterial population can coordinate individuals of different phenotypes by spatial modulation of their run-and-tumble behaviors, resulting in collective group migration with an ordered structure of phenotypes.

    Biophysical clocks face a trade-off between internal and external noise resistance

    Weerapat Pittayakanchit, Zhiyue Lu ... Arvind Murugan
    Molecular clocks that are robust to external fluctuations are vulnerable to internal fluctuations and vice versa.

    The mechanism of mammalian proton-coupled peptide transporters

    Simon M Lichtinger, Joanne L Parker ... Philip C Biggin
    The manner in which protons control the conformational behaviour of mammalian peptide transporters is revealed through state-of-the-art molecular dynamics simulations supported by cell-based assays.

    Anopheles homing suppression drive candidates exhibit unexpected performance differences in simulations with spatial structure

    Samuel E Champer, Isabel K Kim ... Jackson Champer
    Continuous space models indicate that current homing suppression drives may have difficulty eliminating wild mosquito populations, but building a successful drive may still be possible with current tools.

    Narrow equilibrium window for complex coacervation of tau and RNA under cellular conditions

    Yanxian Lin, James McCarty ... Songi Han
    Liquid-liquid phase separation of tau is demonstrated to be an equilibrium state, stable only within a narrow range near physiological conditions, and thus has the capacity to regulate biological processes.

    Heterogeneous presynaptic receptive fields contribute to directional tuning in starburst amacrine cells

    John A Gaynes, Samuel A Budoff ... Alon Poleg-Polsky
    A combination of glutamate imaging, multicompartmental modeling, and machine learning elucidates the peak theoretical and actual contributions of heterogeneous kinetics of presynaptic inputs to the computation of directional selectivity in retinal starburst amacrine cells.

    Homo-oligomerization of the human adenosine A2A receptor is driven by the intrinsically disordered C-terminus

    Khanh Dinh Quoc Nguyen, Michael Vigers ... Songi Han
    The C-terminus of A2A receptor drives oligomer formation via an intricate network of disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions, all of which are enhanced by depletion interactions.

    The role of scaffold reshaping and disassembly in dynamin driven membrane fission

    Martina Pannuzzo, Zachary A McDargh, Markus Deserno
    Computational modeling of a dynamin-constricted membrane neck can rank proposed shape changes of the helical scaffold in terms of their fission aptitude and elucidate the associated pathways.

    Focal seizures are organized by feedback between neural activity and ion concentration changes

    Damiano Gentiletti, Marco de Curtis ... Piotr Suffczynski
    Biophysically realistic computational model reveals how inhibitory interneurons initiate paroxysmal discharges and how changes in the ionic concentrations shape electrographic features of human seizures.

    Interneuronal mechanisms of hippocampal theta oscillations in a full-scale model of the rodent CA1 circuit

    Marianne J Bezaire, Ivan Raikov ... Ivan Soltesz
    Spontaneous theta oscillations and interneuron-specific phase preferences emerge spontaneously in a full-scale model of the isolated hippocampal CA1 subfield, corroborating and extending recent experimental findings.
