The application of topological network analysis on multicenter high-frequency intra-operative physiology data discovers a precise range of blood pressure during surgery predicting poor recovery in spinal cord injury patients.

Computational models of gating processes in an ion channel show how stability shifts upon ligand-binding and mutations are reproduced, which highlights mechanistic details and proposes a new role for symmetry in gating.

Distance-based TCR analysis enables grouping of biochemically similar clonotypes into meta-clonotypes that have increased publicity, and therefore statistical power, for population-level detection of antigen-specific T cells in infection and vaccination.

Circadian control of neuronal excitability in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal as revealed by whole-cell recording and mathematical modeling.

Being active during the day requires a slow-closing ion channel that dampens the activity of neurons in a specific area of the brain.

Five previously unknown alternative genetic codes are found in a screen of bacterial and archaeal genomes by a new computational method called Codetta, lending new insights into the process of their evolution.

There are fundamental limits to what can be learned about the origins of transcriptional noise from gene expression data alone, which can be overcome by simultaneously quantifying the abundances of linked molecular species.

Genomics-based evidence support population- and sex-specific selection of an epistatic interaction between genetic variants in ADCY9 and CETP, genes of pharmacogenetic importance in cardiovascular diseases.

Inhibition of activity in the right frontal eye fields reduces the amplifying effect of gaze in value-based choice.

Proteomics and metabolic modeling revealed that the 'knallgas' bacterium Cupriavidus necator utilizes only a fraction of its proteome and keeps large enzyme reserves as an adaption to variable environments.
