    Reciprocally inhibitory circuits operating with distinct mechanisms are differently robust to perturbation and modulation

    Ekaterina Morozova, Peter Newstein, Eve Marder
    Nuanced changes in the mechanism of oscillation in reciprocally inhibitory circuits can profoundly alter the circuit stability in response to perturbations and inputs.

    Cytotoxic CD4+ T cells driven by T-cell intrinsic IL-18R/MyD88 signaling predominantly infiltrate Trypanosoma cruzi-infected hearts

    Carlos-Henrique D Barbosa, Fábio B Canto ... Maria Bellio
    Cytotoxic CD4 T lymphocytes are abundantly generated in T. cruzi-infected mice, predominantly infiltrate infected hearts, depend on T-cell intrinsic IL-18R/MyD88 signaling for expansion and their blood frequency correlates with the severity of chronic myocarditis in patients with Chagas disease.

    Pathway dynamics can delineate the sources of transcriptional noise in gene expression

    Lucy Ham, Marcel Jackson, Michael PH Stumpf
    There are fundamental limits to what can be learned about the origins of transcriptional noise from gene expression data alone, which can be overcome by simultaneously quantifying the abundances of linked molecular species.

    The C9ORF72 GGGGCC expansion forms RNA G-quadruplex inclusions and sequesters hnRNP H to disrupt splicing in ALS brains

    Erin G Conlon, Lei Lu ... James L Manley
    The C9orf72 expansion binds and sequesters the splicing factor hnRNP H leading to insoluble G-quadruplex aggregates that functionally reduce hnRNP H, thereby producing splicing defects.

    Heparan sulfates are critical regulators of the inhibitory megakaryocyte-platelet receptor G6b-B

    Timo Vögtle, Sumana Sharma ... Yotis A Senis
    Heparan sulfates in the vessel wall bind and regulate signaling from the megakaryocyte/platelet-specific inhibitory receptor G6b-B, a critical regulator of platelet homeostasis.

    The biomechanical role of extra-axonemal structures in shaping the flagellar beat of Euglena gracilis

    Giancarlo Cicconofri, Giovanni Noselli, Antonio DeSimone
    The 'spinning lasso' geometry of Euglena's beating flagellum is revealed, and a model based on the antagonistic forces exchanged by axoneme and paraflagellar rod is proposed to explain its emergence.

    N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader Pho92 is recruited co-transcriptionally and couples translation to mRNA decay to promote meiotic fitness in yeast

    Radhika A Varier, Theodora Sideri ... Folkert J van Werven
    N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader Pho92 is directed by Paf1C to meiotic mRNAs in an m6A-dependent and independent manner and promotes CCR4-NOT-mediated mRNA decay of m6A modified transcripts contingent on translation.

    Acid-base transporters and pH dynamics in human breast carcinomas predict proliferative activity, metastasis, and survival

    Nicolai J Toft, Trine V Axelsen ... Ebbe Boedtkjer
    Cellular acidity, capacity for net acid extrusion, and expression of acid-base transporters in human breast carcinomas independently predict variation in proliferative activity, lymph node metastasis, and patient survival.

    TWIST1 and chromatin regulatory proteins interact to guide neural crest cell differentiation

    Xiaochen Fan, V Pragathi Masamsetti ... Patrick PL Tam
    Network propagation connects TWIST1 with epigenetic regulators CHD7, CHD8, and WHSC1, which collectively promote the bias toward neural crest while suppressing neural stem cell programmes, and subsequently enhance ectomesenchyme potential.

    Distributed functions of prefrontal and parietal cortices during sequential categorical decisions

    Yang Zhou, Matthew C Rosen ... David J Freedman
    Prefrontal cortex plays a leading role in sequential decisions compared to posterior parietal cortex and relies on nonlinear integration of sensory and mnemonic information for decision formation.
