    1. Neuroscience

    Brain areas for reversible symbolic reference, a potential singularity of the human brain

    Timo van Kerkoerle, Louise Pape ... Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz
    Humans spontaneously reverse learned associations while macaque monkeys do not, providing a minimal test of a distinctive human capacity for symbolic representations.

    Decoding phase separation of prion-like domains through data-driven scaling laws

    M Julia Maristany, Anne Aguirre Gonzalez ... Jerelle A Joseph
    Phase diagrams for 140 variants of prion-like low-complexity domains are computed to establish scaling laws that quantify the impact of amino acid mutations on the thermodynamic stability of condensates.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) activity is modulated by light and gates rapid phase shifts of the circadian clock

    Andrea Brenna, Micaela Borsa ... Urs Albrecht
    The light-modulated protein kinase CDK5 is important for phase shifts of the circadian clock, impacting phase delays through calcium influx and signaling pathways, crucial for adapting to jet lag.
    1. Genetics and Genomics

    A molecular proximity sensor based on an engineered, dual-component guide RNA

    Junhong Choi, Wei Chen ... Jay Shendure
    In P3 editing, molecular interactions are sensed and converted directly into genome editing events, which may be useful for biological recording and synthetic molecular circuits deployed in living cells.
    1. Ecology

    Genetic diversity affects ecosystem functions across trophic levels as much as species diversity, but in an opposite direction

    Alzheimer-mutant γ-secretase complexes stall amyloid β-peptide production

    Parnian Arafi, Sujan Devkota ... Michael S Wolfe
    Further evidence in support of a new amyloid-independent hypothesis for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is provided, with an expanded set of Alzheimer-causing mutations in the protease that produces amyloid.

    Multi-tissue network analysis reveals the effect of JNK inhibition on dietary sucrose-induced metabolic dysfunction in rats

    Hong Yang, Cheng Zhang ... Adil Mardinoglu
    Inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase exerts a cross-tissue therapeutic effect on metabolic dysfunction induced by sucrose overconsumption in rats.
    1. Cell Biology

    Oversized cells activate global proteasome-mediated protein degradation to maintain cell size homeostasis

    Shixuan Liu, Ceryl Tan ... Ran Kafri
    Oversized mammalian cells reduce their growth efficiency by activating global protein degradation, which functions in parallel with the cell size checkpoints, to promote cell size homeostasis.
