    Spatial sampling in human visual cortex is modulated by both spatial and feature-based attention

    Daniel Marten van Es, Jan Theeuwes, Tomas Knapen
    The sampling of visual space is not only warped by attention towards locations but also depends on attended features.

    Intestinal goblet cells sample and deliver lumenal antigens by regulated endocytic uptake and transcytosis

    Jenny K Gustafsson, Jazmyne E Davis ... Rodney D Newberry
    Goblet cells use distinct receptors and signaling pathways to independently perform mucus secretion and endocytosis of fluid-phase cargo with atypical trafficking to deliver lumenal substances to the immune system.

    Gating interactions steer loop conformational changes in the active site of the L1 metallo-β-lactamase

    Zhuoran Zhao, Xiayu Shen ... Shozeb Haider
    Extremely significant interactions between α3-β7 and β12-α5 loops in the tetrameric L1 metallo-β-lactamase play an important role in the structural remodeling of the active site and offer insights into the potential for novel drug development by exploiting these interactions.

    Empirical examination of the replicability of associations between brain structure and psychological variables

    Shahrzad Kharabian Masouleh, Simon B Eickhoff ... Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
    Empirical evaluations demonstrate the low probability of finding and replicating significant associations between psychological tests and brain structure in healthy adults, highlighting the importance out-of-sample replication of exploratory findings.

    Investigating the trade-off between folding and function in a multidomain Y-family DNA polymerase

    Xiakun Chu, Zucai Suo, Jin Wang
    The physical interaction network encoded in the multi-domain protein native structure handles the trade-off between the fast, stable folding and the efficient, reliable function.

    Evidence for dopaminergic involvement in endogenous modulation of pain relief

    Simon Desch, Petra Schweinhardt ... Susanne Becker
    Endogenous modulation of pain relief perception is based on its motivational content and enhanced by increased dopamine availability with no significant effects of a pharmacological opioidergic manipulation in healthy volunteers.

    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.

    Structural determinants of voltage-gating properties in calcium channels

    Monica L Fernández-Quintero, Yousra El Ghaleb ... Bernhard E Flucher
    Structure modeling, site-directed mutagenesis, and current recordings revealed the mechanism by which stabilization of voltage sensors in the resting and activated states determines the gating properties of the CaV1.1 calcium channel.

    Ligand-induced shifts in conformational ensembles that describe transcriptional activation

    Sabab Hasan Khan, Sean M Braet ... C Denise Okafor
    Transcriptional activity is characterized for five steroid receptors complexed with multiple ligands and it is shown that the extent of transcriptional activation in complexes is accurately described by conformational shifts in computationally-generated ensembles.

    Metabolic biomarker profiling for identification of susceptibility to severe pneumonia and COVID-19 in the general population

    Heli Julkunen, Anna Cichońska ... Nightingale Health UK Biobank Initiative
    Metabolic biomarkers measured from single blood test can identify apparently healthy people at high susceptibility for developing severe pneumonia, and may also be useful for preventive COVID-19 screening.
