    HER2-driven mammary tumorigenesis enhances bioenergetics despite reductions in mitochondrial content

    Sara M Frangos, Henver S Brunetta ... Graham P Holloway
    Multi-omic and bioenergetic profiling in a HER2-driven mouse model of mammary cancer reveals that reduced mitochondrial content does not limit tumor respiratory capacity, which is instead dramatically elevated compared to benign mammary tissue.

    Canonical neurodevelopmental trajectories of structural and functional manifolds

    Alicja Monaghan, Richard AI Bethlehem ... Duncan E Astle
    Contrary to prior work, principal axes of structural and functional connectivity are established early in life, remaining stable and undergoing refinement throughout development.

    Natural xanthones as α-Mangostin induce vasorelaxation involving key gating residues in the S6 domain of BK channels

    Soenke Cordeiro, Robert Patejdl ... Marianne A Musinszki
    Identification of mangostins as potent BK channel activators links natural xanthones to vascular smooth muscle relaxation, providing a mechanistic basis for their reported antihypertensive effects.

    Continuous flash suppression of neural responses and population orientation coding in macaque V1

    Cai-Xia Chen, Xin Wang ... Cong Yu
    Continuous flash suppression reduces V1 orientation responses in an ocular-dominance-dependent manner, which may still allow low-level coarse orientation discrimination but provide insufficient information for higher-level visual and cognitive tasks.
