    Sex, strain, and lateral differences in brain cytoarchitecture across a large mouse population

    David Elkind, Hannah Hochgerner ... Amit Zeisel
    Across individuals of a mouse population, brain regions volumes scaled to accommodate the same amount of cells, but left hemisphere cortical regions were denser than right, and several regions of the limbic system were more pronounced in either sex.

    Statistical inference reveals the role of length, GC content, and local sequence in V(D)J nucleotide trimming

    Magdalena L Russell, Noah Simon ... Frederick A Matsen IV
    Local sequence context, length, and GC nucleotide content in both directions of the trimming site, together, are highly predictive of V(D)J trimming probabilities for both TR and IG adaptive immune receptor loci.

    Dynamic fibronectin assembly and remodeling by leader neural crest cells prevents jamming in collective cell migration

    William Duncan Martinson, Rebecca McLennan ... Philip K Maini
    Data-driven mathematical modeling suggests that leading neural crest cells in a moving stream can robustly communicate with trailing cells by remodeling their extracellular matrix, thereby enabling long-distance collective migration.

    Coevolutionary dynamics via adaptive feedback in collective-risk social dilemma game

    Linjie Liu, Xiaojie Chen, Attila Szolnoki
    The two-way coupling between collective actions and risk is essential to avoid the tragedy of the commons.

    Transcriptional regulation of Sis1 promotes fitness but not feedback in the heat shock response

    Rania Garde, Abhyudai Singh ... David Pincus
    The chaperones Hsp70 and Sis1 collaborate to repress the heat shock response and are both transcriptional targets of the heat shock response, yet only Hsp70 acts as a negative feedback regulator of the heat shock response.

    Single-cell analysis of the aged ovarian immune system reveals a shift towards adaptive immunity and attenuated cell function

    Tal Ben Yaakov, Tanya Wasserman ... Yonatan Savir
    The ovarian immune system ages while coping with the two main challenges of the aging ovary before menopause, the inflammatory stimulations due to repeated cycles and the increasing need for clearance of accumulating atretic follicles.

    Local generation and efficient evaluation of numerous drug combinations in a single sample

    Vlad Elgart, Joseph Loscalzo
    Engineered local heterogeneity in drug concentration is used as a tool to encode drug treatment regimens and to predict the macroscopic cellular response to drug perturbations.

    Principles for coding associative memories in a compact neural network

    Christian Pritz, Eyal Itskovits ... Alon Zaslaver
    A compact neural network can form various associative memories that are encoded in a distributed manner, where each neuron stores different components of the memory.

    Improved T cell receptor antigen pairing through data-driven filtering of sequencing information from single cells

    Helle Rus Povlsen, Amalie Kai Bentzen ... Morten Nielsen
    A bioinformatics approach shows how to reduce noise in single-cell TCR-pMHC specificity data while retaining sensitivity toward cross-binding events to facilitate investigation of the rules governing TCR-pMHC binding.
