    Mother-child dyadic interactions shape the developing social brain and Theory of Mind in young children

    Lei Li, Jinming Xiao ... Xujun Duan
    Children’s social cognitive development emerges from the dynamic interplay of neural maturation, parental caregiving, and dyadic brain-to-brain synchrony.

    Extrusion-modulated DnaA activity oscillations coordinate DNA replication with biomass growth

    Dengjin Li, Hai Zheng ... Chenli Liu
    Chromosome-driven DnaA activity oscillations, modulated by DNA-binding proteins, enable bacteria to coordinate DNA replication with biomass growth independently of transcriptional regulation.

    Local, calcium- and reward-based synaptic learning rule that enhances dendritic nonlinearities can solve the nonlinear feature binding problem

    Zahra Khodadadi, Daniel Trpevski ... Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski
    Biophysically detailed modeling predicts that a biologically plausible synaptic plasticity rule, gated by calcium and dopamine, enables single neurons to solve nonlinear binding tasks by exploiting dendritic nonlinearities.

    Causal associations between human plasma proteins and prostate cancer identified by proteome-wide Mendelian randomization

    Lin Chen, Yanlun Gu ... Xiaocong Pang
    The identification of 20 causal plasma proteins for prostate cancer represents a critical step toward addressing the need for improved diagnostic specificity and reveals promising new targets for therapeutic intervention.

    The denitrosylase SCoR2 controls cardioprotective metabolic reprogramming

    Zachary W Grimmett, Rongli Zhang ... Jonathan S Stamler
    Mice lacking the denitrosylase enzyme SCoR2 demonstrate robust cardioprotection resulting from coordinate reprogramming of multiple metabolic pathways.

    Elevated DNA damage without signs of aging in the short-sleeping Mexican cavefish

    Evan Lloyd, Fanning Xia ... Alex C Keene
    Cavefish exhibit resilience to chronic sleep loss and tolerate elevated DNA damage and reduced DNA repair responses without compromising healthspan or longevity.

    Growth inhibitory factor/metallothionein-3 is a sulfane sulfur-binding protein

    Yasuhiro Shinkai, Yunjie Ding ... Yoshito Kumagai
    The hold-and-release regulation of zinc by GIF/MT-3 is mediated by sulfane sulfur through a redox-dependent switching mechanism.

    Membrane potential modulates ERK activity and cell proliferation in human cells

    Mari Sasaki, Masanobu Nakahara ... Fumihito Ono
    Membrane depolarization promotes extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and cell proliferation via phosphatidylserine dynamics.

    Relationship between cognitive abilities and mental health as represented by cognitive abilities at the neural and genetic levels of analysis

    Yue Wang, Richard Anney, Narun Pat
    Multimodal neuroimaging explained 66% of the cognitive–mental health link in children, outperforming polygenic scores (21%), and accounted for 58% of the environmental contribution to this relationship.

    Repeated vaccination with homologous influenza hemagglutinin broadens human antibody responses to unmatched flu viruses

    Yixiang Deng, Melbourne Tang ... Daniel Lingwood
    Classical antibody boosting effects during vaccination are accompanied by natural broadening mechanisms that help enable human antibodies to engage conserved sites of vulnerability on influenza virus.
