    The liquid structure of elastin

    Sarah Rauscher, Régis Pomès
    Molecular simulations show how hydrophobicity and conformational disorder underlie the phase separation of elastin-like peptides and the elasticity of human tissues.

    Stability-mediated epistasis constrains the evolution of an influenza protein

    Lizhi Ian Gong, Marc A Suchard, Jesse D Bloom
    Some of the mutations that occur during influenza evolution can only be tolerated in conjunction with other mutations that increase the stability of a viral protein.

    A neutrophil–B-cell axis impacts tissue damage control in a mouse model of intraabdominal bacterial infection via Cxcr4

    Riem Gawish, Barbara Maier ... Sylvia Knapp
    LPS pre-exposure is tissue protective during a subsequent lethal E. coli peritonitis by long-term modulation the bone marrow B-cell and neutrophil pool which affects neutrophil tissue damaging properties and therapeutic activation of Cxcr4 promotes tissue damage control during sepsis.

    A novel pathway of LPS uptake through syndecan-1 leading to pyroptotic cell death

    Shigetoshi Yokoyama, Yan Cai ... Shioko Kimura
    A novel pathway was discovered for cellular uptake of LPS through secretory protein secretoglobin3A2 and a receptor syndecan-1, causing activation of non-canonical inflammasome pathway leading to pyroptosis of cancer cells.

    Ancestral reconstruction of duplicated signaling proteins reveals the evolution of signaling specificity

    Isabel Nocedal, Michael T Laub
    Ancestral reconstruction of a signaling pathway reveals the mutations responsible for producing specificity of the two paralogous pathways produced by a duplication event.

    One-step efficient generation of dual-function conditional knockout and geno-tagging alleles in zebrafish

    Wenyuan Li, Yage Zhang ... Bo Zhang
    Conditional gene knockout in combination with fluorescent labeling of different alleles can be achieved with high efficiency in zebrafish through NHEJ-mediated targeted insertion using a CRISPR/Cas system.

    Fetal influence on the human brain through the lifespan

    Kristine B Walhovd, Stine K Krogsrud ... Didac Vidal-Pineiro
    Greater early developmental growth, as indexed by birth weight, relates to greater cortical volume and area in a stable way through the human lifespan.

    Antagonism between parasites within snail hosts impacts the transmission of human schistosomiasis

    Martina R Laidemitt, Larissa C Anderson ... Eric S Loker
    Interactions among parasites in snails create cascading effects on their transmission and highlight that biodiversity has complex, context-dependent and important effects on human schistosomiasis transmission dynamics.

    Conjunction of factors triggering waves of seasonal influenza

    Ishanu Chattopadhyay, Emre Kiciman ... Andrey Rzhetsky
    Three complementary computational approaches reveal a set of putative causes of initiation of pan-USA waves of influenza.

    Modular organization of cerebellar climbing fiber inputs during goal-directed behavior

    Shinichiro Tsutsumi, Naoki Hidaka ... Kazuo Kitamura
    Motor and non-motor functions are represented in spatially segregated and temporally organized climbing fiber signals to distinct cerebellar zones during goal-directed behavior.
