    Genetic and physical interactions reveal overlapping and distinct contributions to meiotic double-strand break formation in C. elegans

    Marilina Raices, Fabiola Balmir ... Judith L Yanowitz
    HIM-5 emerges as a central scaffold that coordinates SPO-11 accessory complexes to control different aspects of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, ensuring robust crossover formation on autosomes and the X chromosome.

    Contributions of insula and superior temporal sulcus to interpersonal guilt and responsibility in social decisions

    Maria Gädeke, Tom Eric Willems ... Johannes Schultz
    Being responsible for a partner's adverse outcomes is associated with anterior insula activation, while the superior temporal sulcus tracks prediction errors for the partner's reward resulting from the participant's decisions.

    Visual information is broadcast among cortical areas in discrete channels

    Yiyi Yu, Jeffery N Stirman ... Spencer LaVere Smith
    Activity fluctuations, or noise correlations, are robust measures of neuronal connectivity and they reveal that neural circuity controls mixing of information at a granular level across millimeter-length scales.

    Adaptor protein supersaturation drives innate immune signaling and cell fate

    Alejandro Rodriguez Gama, Tayla Miller ... Randal Halfmann
    In-cell biophysical analyses identify a sequence-encoded energy storage function of innate immune adaptor proteins that allows cells to respond quickly and decisively to pathogenic signals.

    Human genetic ancestry, Mycobacterium tuberculosis diversity, and tuberculosis disease severity in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

    Michaela Zwyer, Zhi Ming Xu ... Daniela Brites
    The severity of active tuberculosis in a high-burden population is not explained by host or pathogen genetic variation, suggesting a dominant role for social and environmental factors.
    1. Physics of Living Systems

    The cytoplasm of living cells can sustain transient and steady intracellular pressure gradients

    Majid Malboubi, Mohammad Hadi Esteki ... Guillaume Charras
    Stable pressure gradients can arise in cells from the combination of actomyosin-generated cortical tension, cytoplasmic poroelasticity, and water flows across the membrane.

    Control of innate olfactory valence by segregated cortical amygdala circuits

    James R Howe, Chung Lung Chan ... Cory M Root
    Topographically distributed plCoA populations direct innate olfactory responses by signaling to divergent valence-specific targets, linking upstream olfactory identity to downstream valence behaviors, through a population code.

    Superoxide dismutases maintain niche homeostasis in stem cell populations

    Olivia Majhi, Aishwarya Chhatre ... Devanjan Sinha
    Superoxide dismutases, particularly Sod1, differentially tune redox signaling of germline and cyst stem cells, enabling their self-renewal and differentiation, thereby maintaining Drosophila testicular stem cell homeostasis.
