    Emergence and propagation of epistasis in metabolic networks

    Sergey Kryazhimskiy
    Mutations that affect a metabolic network generically exhibit epistasis, which propagates to higher level phenotypes, such as fitness, carrying some information about the network’s topology.

    A coordinated transcriptional switching network mediates antigenic variation of human malaria parasites

    Xu Zhang, Francesca Florini ... Kirk W Deitsch
    Malaria parasites avoid destruction by their host's immune response through systematic and coordinated expression switching between members of a network of variant antigen-encoding genes, a process that is mediated by a uniquely conserved gene called var2csa.

    Adaptive tuning of mutation rates allows fast response to lethal stress in Escherichia coli

    Toon Swings, Bram Van den Bergh ... Jan Michiels
    Population mutation rates are highly flexible and evolvable under extreme stress conditions, matching changes in selective pressure to avoid extinction of the entire population.

    The Ca2+ transient as a feedback sensor controlling cardiomyocyte ionic conductances in mouse populations

    Colin M Rees, Jun-Hai Yang ... Alain Karma
    Feedback sensing of the intracellular calcium concentration suffices to reproduce the diversity of ionic conductances underlying normal cardiac electromechanical function in a genetically diverse population of mice.

    Serine ADP-ribosylation marks nucleosomes for ALC1-dependent chromatin remodeling

    Jugal Mohapatra, Kyuto Tashiro ... Glen Liszczak
    A technology to produce homogenously poly-ADP-ribosylated proteins reveals key molecular mechanisms that govern ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling activity at DNA damage sites.

    A remarkable adaptive paradigm of heart performance and protection emerges in response to marked cardiac-specific overexpression of ADCY8

    Kirill V Tarasov, Khalid Chakir ... Edward G Lakatta
    Overexpression of hAC8 engages complex, coordinate adaptation 'circuity' that has evolved in mammalian cells to defend against stress that threatens health or life, and may be important for proper healing in disease states such as heart infarction or failure.

    The injured sciatic nerve atlas (iSNAT), insights into the cellular and molecular basis of neural tissue degeneration and regeneration

    Xiao-Feng Zhao, Lucas D Huffman ... Roman J Giger
    Single-cell analysis of injured mouse sciatic nerves reveals rapid reprogramming of macrophages toward a glycolytic, proinflammatory phenotype during the early repair process.

    Against cortical reorganisation

    Tamar R Makin, John W Krakauer
    A critical re-evaluation of some of the quintessential examples given as evidence for cortical reorganisation argues that, contrary to the prevalent view, any opportunities for functional change in cortical organisation are incremental and constrained by the underlying structural ‘blueprint'.
