    Shore crabs reveal novel evolutionary attributes of the mushroom body

    Nicholas Strausfeld, Marcel E Sayre
    Dramatic phenotypic divergence of crustacean mushroom bodies map to phylogenetic lineages, thereby offering unexplored opportunities for relating divergent cognitive centers to different ecologies and behavioral repertoires required to negotiate them.

    Role of BRCA2 DNA-binding and C-terminal domain in its mobility and conformation in DNA repair

    Maarten W Paul, Arshdeep Sidhu ... Claire Wyman
    Highly conserved C-terminal domains of the tumor suppressor BRCA2 are not essential for accumulation at damaged DNA but affect conformation and cell survival, implying roles beyond delivering strand-exchange protein RAD51.

    Astrocytes refine cortical connectivity at dendritic spines

    W Christopher Risher, Sagar Patel ... Cagla Eroglu
    Spines with multiple excitatory contacts are potential sites for competition between thalamic and cortical axons, which is regulated by the astrocytes through the secreted synaptogenic protein hevin.

    Somatostatin binds to the human amyloid β peptide and favors the formation of distinct oligomers

    Hansen Wang, Lisa D Muiznieks ... Gerold Schmitt-Ulms
    The cyclic neuropeptide somatostatin binds to human Aβ1-42 through an interface that critically relies on a specific tryptophan, thereby blocking the propensity of Aβ to aggregate, a critical step in the pathobiology of Alzheimer's disease.

    Spotless, a reproducible pipeline for benchmarking cell type deconvolution in spatial transcriptomics

    Chananchida Sang-aram, Robin Browaeys ... Yvan Saeys
    Estimating cell type composition from a gene expression mixture remains a challenging task, as evidenced by how a simple regression model outperforms many state-of-the-art spatial deconvolution methods.

    The NeuroML ecosystem for standardized multi-scale modeling in neuroscience

    Ankur Sinha, Padraig Gleeson ... Robin Angus Silver
    The NeuroML model description language, with its extensive software ecosystem, supports researchers in the development of FAIR, data-driven, biologically detailed models of neural systems.

    Amount of fear extinction changes its underlying mechanisms

    Bobae An, Jihye Kim ... Sukwoo Choi
    The inhibition mechanism of fear extinction operates primarily in the early phase of extinction training, and the erasure mechanism takes over after that.

    Integrin β4 promotes DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer via TNFAIP2/IQGAP1/RAC1

    Huan Fang, Wenlong Ren ... Ceshi Chen
    TNFAIP2 was found to interact with IQGAP1 and Integrin β4, which activates RAC1 through TNFAIP2 and IQGAP1 and confers DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer.

    Environmentally sensitive hotspots in the methylome of the early human embryo

    Matt J Silver, Ayden Saffari ... Andrew M Prentice
    259 CpGs associated with season of conception in rural Gambians constitute a valuable resource for investigating epigenetic mechanisms linking early exposures to lifelong health and disease.
