    Transcriptional responses to chronic oxidative stress require cholinergic activation of G-protein-coupled receptor signaling

    Kasturi Biswas, Caroline Moore ... Michael M Francis
    Muscarinic cholinergic signaling links neural activity to organism‑wide transcriptional and proteostatic responses that protect against chronic oxidative stress.

    Brain-wide arousal signals are segregated from movement planning in the superior colliculus of the macaque

    Richard Johnston, Matthew A Smith
    Arousal signals are present in the superior colliculus but appear to be organized in a way that they avoid directly triggering motor plans that lead to saccades.

    Growth in early infancy drives optimal brain functional connectivity which predicts cognitive flexibility in later childhood

    Chiara Bulgarelli, Anna Blasi ... The BRIGHT Study Team
    In Gambian infants, positive growth from 0 to 5 months of age predicted more mature brain networks, which in turn predicted cognitive outcomes at 3-5 years.

    CO2-dependent opening of connexin 43 hemichannels

    Valentin Mihai Dospinescu, Alexander Mascarenhas ... Nicholas Dale
    Connexin43 is the most ubiquitously expressed connexin in the human body, and the CO2-dependent opening of Connexin43 hemichannels implies that CO2 may influence many physiological processes.

    Dissecting mechanisms of ligand binding and conformational changes in the glutamine-binding protein

    Zhongying Han, Sabrina Panhans ... Thorben Cordes
    A range of biophysical techniques is used in combination with computational analysis to understand whether glutamine-binding protein binds its ligand via the induced-fit or conformational selection mechanism.
    1. Chromosomes and Gene Expression

    Interplay between cohesin and TORC1 links chromosome segregation and gene expression to environmental changes

    Dorian Besson, Sabine Vaur ... Jean-Paul Javerzat
    A conserved kinase network links nutrient sensing to chromosome segregation and gene regulation by modulating cohesin dynamics through phosphorylation.
