    Motor processivity and speed determine structure and dynamics of microtubule-motor assemblies

    Rachel A Banks, Vahe Galstyan ... Rob Phillips
    Mesoscopic properties of motor-microtubule assemblies, such as contractile rates and length scales, can be quantitatively connected to single-motor properties of kinesin motors.

    HIV efficiently infects T cells from the endometrium and remodels them to promote systemic viral spread

    Tongcui Ma, Xiaoyu Luo ... Nadia R Roan
    CD4+ T cells from the female reproductive tract are unusually susceptible to HIV infection and are altered by HIV in ways that promote survival and systemic spread of the virus.

    Recent shifts in the genomic ancestry of Mexican Americans may alter the genetic architecture of biomedical traits

    Melissa L Spear, Alex Diaz-Papkovich ... Ryan D Hernandez
    Admixture dynamics have recently changed over time in Mexican Americans resulting in an impact on the genetic architecture of phenotypic variation.

    Synchronous multi-segmental activity between metachronal waves controls locomotion speed in Drosophila larvae

    Yingtao Liu, Eri Hasegawa ... Hiroshi Kohsaka
    GABAergic interneurons coordinate synchronous muscle contractions along the length of the fruit fly larva to control the duration between peristaltic waves and locomotion speed.

    Transmission networks of SARS-CoV-2 in Coastal Kenya during the first two waves: A retrospective genomic study

    Charles N Agoti, Lynette Isabella Ochola-Oyier ... George Githinji
    Genomic analysis of initial SARS-CoV-2 waves in Kenya revealed Mombasa City as a key gateway for variants entering Coastal Kenya with onward inter-county transmission highlighting significance of surveillance in major cities for early warning of lineages entering local populations.

    Attentional amplification of neural codes for number independent of other quantities along the dorsal visual stream

    Elisa Castaldi, Manuela Piazza ... Evelyn Eger
    The representations of information concerning the number, size, density and surface of sets of objects in a visual image are separable along the occipito-parietal cortex and independently modulated by attention.

    Trogocytosis-associated cell to cell spread of intracellular bacterial pathogens

    Shaun Steele, Lauren Radlinski ... Thomas H Kawula
    Live intracellular bacterial pathogens can transfer from infected cells to uninfected macrophages upon cell-to-cell contact.

    Condensin DC loads and spreads from recruitment sites to create loop-anchored TADs in C. elegans

    Jun Kim, David S Jimenez ... Sevinc Ercan
    Loading and linear translocation of condensin dosage compensation along the X-chromosomes create the loop-anchored topologically associating domains detected by Hi-C.

    Ecological multiplex interactions determine the role of species for parasite spread amplification

    Massimo Stella, Sanja Selakovic ... Cecilia S Andreazzi
    Predators may amplify multiple-host parasite spreading in systems with multiple transmission routes.

    A neural mechanism of speed-accuracy tradeoff in macaque area LIP

    Timothy Hanks, Roozbeh Kiani, Michael N Shadlen
    To establish a trade-off between the speed and accuracy of a decision, neurons in lateral intraparietal cortex combine evidence bearing on the decision with a signal that incorporates the cost of time into the decision-making process.
