    Genomic epidemiology of the first two waves of SARS-CoV-2 in Canada

    Angela McLaughlin, Vincent Montoya ... Jeffrey B Joy
    Canadian COVID-19 travel restrictions imposed in March 2020 greatly reduced SARS-CoV-2 importations, but were insufficient to prevent new sublineages of similar transmissibility from being introduced and replacing early sublineages.

    Vacuolar H+-ATPase determines daughter cell fates through asymmetric segregation of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex

    Zhongyun Xie, Yongping Chai ... Wei Li
    Asymmetric segregation of V-ATPase may cause distinct acidification levels in the two daughter cells, enabling asymmetric epigenetic inheritance that specifies their respective life-versus-death fates.

    Self-configuring feedback loops for sensorimotor control

    Sergio Oscar Verduzco-Flores, Erik De Schutter
    Learning to reach in the sensorimotor loop, and the required neural dynamics, can be potentially explained by simple principles.

    Microglial motility is modulated by neuronal activity and correlates with dendritic spine plasticity in the hippocampus of awake mice

    Felix Christopher Nebeling, Stefanie Poll ... Martin Fuhrmann
    Microglia that presumably sense neuronal activity via detection of glutamate at synapses in the hippocampus show higher fine process motility and increased contact rates associated with formation and elimination of dendritic spines under conditions of elevated neuronal activity.

    An essential role of acetylcholine-glutamate synergy at habenular synapses in nicotine dependence

    Silke Frahm, Beatriz Antolin-Fontes ... Ines Ibañez-Tallon
    Local elimination of acetylcholine synthesis in habenular neurons demonstrates a key role for vesicular synergy and neurotransmitter co-release in nicotine dependence.

    Revealing a novel nociceptive network that links the subthalamic nucleus to pain processing

    Arnaud Pautrat, Marta Rolland ... Veronique Coizet
    The subthalamic nucleus is linked to a nociceptive network and involved in nociceptive processing and perception.

    A reservoir of timescales emerges in recurrent circuits with heterogeneous neural assemblies

    Merav Stern, Nicolae Istrate, Luca Mazzucato
    The large range of timescales empirically observed in neural circuits can be naturally explained when neural assemblies of heterogeneous size are recurrently coupled, empowering the neural circuits to efficiently process complex time-varying input signals.

    The TRIM-NHL protein NHL-2 is a co-factor in the nuclear and somatic RNAi pathways in C. elegans

    Gregory M Davis, Shikui Tu ... Peter R Boag
    The RNA-binding protein NHL-2 is required for small-RNA mediated transgenerational epigenetic gene regulation.

    Dissecting transcriptional amplification by MYC

    Zuqin Nie, Chunhua Guo ... David Levens
    Synthetic biology experiments show that MYC is a general transcription amplifier acting at two or more sites in the transcription-cycle and that MYC-turnover contributes to its activity.

    Mechanism and consequence of abnormal calcium homeostasis in Rett syndrome astrocytes

    Qiping Dong, Qing Liu ... Qiang Chang
    Increased spontaneous calcium activity in Rett syndrome astrocytes is a key cell-autonomous phenotype that affects synaptic function and network activity.
