    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.

    Variation in the modality of a yeast signaling pathway is mediated by a single regulator

    Julius Palme, Jue Wang, Michael Springer
    Yeast cells can tune the modality of a nutrient response on physiological and evolutionary timescales by adapting the expression and sequence of a sensor protein.

    Temporal pattern and synergy influence activity of ERK signaling pathways during L-LTP induction

    Nadiatou T Miningou Zobon, Joanna Jędrzejewska-Szmek, Kim T Blackwell
    ERK activation during induction of long-term synaptic plasticity is enhanced by synergistic interactions among signaling pathways mediated by the synaptically located GTPase-activating protein, and each pathway contributes to different ERK temporal dynamics.

    Quantitative control of noise in mammalian gene expression by dynamic histone regulation

    Deng Tan, Rui Chen ... Wei Huang
    Ubiquitous transcriptional factor-CBP/p300 interaction induces epigenetic and transcriptional bimodality, which can be utilized to tune mean gene expression and noise independently.
