    Disrupted hippocampal theta-gamma coupling and spike-field coherence following experimental traumatic brain injury

    Christopher D Adam, Ehsan Mirzakhalili ... John A Wolf
    Experimental TBI results in distinct patterns of network-level pathophysiology in the hippocampus that may contribute to TBI-associated cognitive deficits.

    Contractile perinuclear actomyosin network promotes peripheral and polar chromosome interaction with the mitotic spindle

    Nooshin Sheidaei, John K Eykelenboom ... Tomoyuki U Tanaka
    An actomyosin network (PANEM) forms around the nucleus in prophase, and its contraction repositions peripheral and polar chromosomes to facilitate their interaction with the mitotic spindle, ensuring their correct segregation.

    Tactile localization of the breast, areola, and nipple

    Katie H Long, Emily E Fitzgerald ... Charles M Greenspon
    The breast, despite its importance in sexual and affective touch, exhibits poor tactile localization and demonstrates a relationship between size and innervation density.

    Purified zymogens reveal mechanisms of snake venom metalloproteinase auto-activation

    Sophie Hall, Iara Aime Cardoso ... Christiane Schaffitzel
    A generic strategy for producing functional snake venom metalloproteinases opens the field to reproducible mechanistic studies and inhibitor discovery.

    Altered cognitive processes shape tactile perception in autism

    Ourania Semelidou, Mathilde Tortochot-Megne Fotso ... Andreas A Frick
    Altered tactile decision-making in autism reflects context-dependent weighting of sensory inputs and diminished integration of sensory history, enhancing low-salience discrimination while reducing category-based perceptual facilitation.

    Cell size modulates ferroptosis susceptibility

    Evgeny Zatulovskiy, Magdalena B Murray ... Jan M Skotheim
    Cellular sensitivity to cell death stimuli depends on cell-size-dependent proteome changes - specifically, cell size can modulate ferroptosis susceptibility through changes in glutathione biosynthetic enzymes, ferritin, and cathepsin B concentrations.

    Deep mutational scanning reveals pharmacologically relevant insights into TYK2 signaling and disease

    Conor J Howard, Nathan S Abell ... Diane E Dickel
    A comprehensive mutational scan of TYK2 identifies novel allosteric sites, elucidates functional drug-protein interactions, and links autoimmune disease protection to reduced TYK2 protein abundance.

    Capsaicin acts as a novel NRF2 agonist to suppress ethanol induced gastric mucosa oxidative damage by directly disrupting the KEAP1-NRF2 interaction

    Xiaoning Gao, Wuyan Guo ... Jun Kang
    Non-covalent targeting of KEAP1 by capsaicin provides a reversible and safe NRF2 agonist for treating oxidative damage.

    Membrane binding controls the ATPase cycle and localization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis

    Helge Feddersen, Charlotte Dyckmans, Marc Bramkamp
    Dynamic relocalization of MinD in Bacillus subtilis arises from membrane binding of monomers and dimers with membrane-triggered ATP hydrolysis, suggesting MinE-like activators are unnecessary for Min system dynamics.

    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.
