    Inequalities in the distribution of National Institutes of Health research project grant funding

    Michael S Lauer, Deepshikha Roychowdhury
    Funding inequalities for NIH-supported research project grant investigators and organizations have increased over the past 25 years, but have modestly decreased over the past 3 years.

    PARROT is a flexible recurrent neural network framework for analysis of large protein datasets

    Daniel Griffith, Alex S Holehouse
    PARROT makes it easy for anyone to train and use system- or data-specific deep learning models that map between protein sequence and arbitrary sequence annotations.

    Characterizing human mobility patterns in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa

    Hannah R Meredith, John R Giles ... Amy Wesolowski
    Mobile phone data reveal aspects of human mobility patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa missed by standard spatial models however, model estimates can be improved by accounting for trip urbanicity and region.

    Leveraging the Mendelian disorders of the epigenetic machinery to systematically map functional epigenetic variation

    Teresa Romeo Luperchio, Leandros Boukas ... Hans T Bjornsson
    Chromatin/transcriptome profiling in multiple mouse models with mutations in epigenetic machinery (EM) reveals shared abnormalities including many IgA-relevant genes, indicating that this kind of joint analysis may elucidate the multigenic nature of EM disorders.

    Continuous attractors for dynamic memories

    Davide Spalla, Isabel Maria Cornacchia, Alessandro Treves
    A neural network model with asymmetric synaptic interactions can store and retrieve multiple continuous memory sequences with their temporal structure.

    Addressing shortfalls of laboratory HbA1c using a model that incorporates red cell lifespan

    Yongjin Xu, Richard M Bergenstal ... Ramzi A Ajjan
    The person-specific adjusted HbA1c addresses non-glycaemic variation in laboratory HbA1c due to red blood cell lifespan differences, potentially providing a better marker to predict diabetes complications and guide glycaemic management.

    A simple regulatory architecture allows learning the statistical structure of a changing environment

    Stefan Landmann, Caroline M Holmes, Mikhail Tikhonov
    Minimal modifications of common regulatory circuits can allow bacteria to learn from the past to better predict the future, on a physiological, rather than evolutionary, timescale.

    Disease: Deciphering the triad of infection, immunity and pathology

    Frederik Graw
    The factors which drive and control disease progression can be inferred from mathematical models that integrate measures of immune responses, data from tissue sampling and markers of infection dynamics.

    Neuronal timescales are functionally dynamic and shaped by cortical microarchitecture

    Richard Gao, Ruud L van den Brink ... Bradley Voytek
    Invasive electrophysiological recording measures neuronal transmembrane current timescales across human cortex, which lengthens from sensory to association regions, follows variations in ion channel expressions, and alters with behavior and aging.

    Hypoxia triggers collective aerotactic migration in Dictyostelium discoideum

    Olivier Cochet-Escartin, Mete Demircigil ... Jean-Paul Rieu
    Cell assemblies can use environmental cues created by their own respiration, such as oxygen gradients, to collectively guide themselves to more favorable locations in a remarkably robust and long-lasting way.
