    Heat shock factor regulation of antimicrobial peptides expression suggests a conserved defense mechanism induced by febrile temperature in arthropods

    Bang Xiao, Shihan Chen ... Chaozheng Li
    Febrile temperatures enhance antiviral immunity through heat shock factor-dependent antimicrobial peptides across arthropods.

    Heterogeneity of Sonic Hedgehog response dynamics and fate specification in single neural progenitors

    Fengzhu Xiong, Andrea R Tentner ... Sean G Tsung-Megason
    Comparing signaling response profiles and fate outcomes in single cells reveals logic and limits of signal interpretation.

    Epigenetics and chromatin structure regulate var2csa expression and the placental-binding phenotype in Plasmodium falciparum

    Todd Lenz, Madle Sirel ... Ulf Ribacke
    Placenta-binding parasites show that chromatin-based mechanisms regulate placental malaria virulence gene, var2csa, and requires loss of H3K9me3-mediated heterochromatic silencing and 3D nuclear repositioning away from telomeric-repressive clusters.

    A lipoprotein partner for the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein TolC

    Jim Horne, Elise Kaplan ... Ben F Luisi
    Structural and biochemical analyses identify a bacterial lipoprotein that associates with the outer membrane component of tripartite multi-drug efflux pumps, and its potential functional roles are explored by complementary bioinformatics, proteomcid and genetic approaches.

    TAD boundaries and gene activity are uncoupled

    Faisal Almansour, Nadezda A Fursova ... Tom Misteli
    Single-cell analysis fails to find a functional link between the organization of chromatin domain organization and gene activity.

    A stress-activated neuronal ensemble in the supramammillary nucleus produces anxiety-like behavior in male mice

    Jinming Zhang, Kexin Yu ... Jing Han
    Stress-recruited neurons can cause anxiety-like avoidance and increase peripheral corticosterone concentration.
    1. Neuroscience

    Endogenous precision of the number sense

    Arthur Prat-Carrabin, Michael Woodford
    A theory of efficient coding wherein the precision of representations is endogenous, task-dependent, and prior-dependent predicts scaling laws for imprecision and is supported by numerosity perception experiments with humans.
    1. Neuroscience

    Fear conditioning biases olfactory sensory neuron frequencies across generations

    Clara W Liff, Yasmine R Ayman ... Bianca J Marlin
    Olfactory fear conditioning biases olfactory stem cell receptor fate, increasing the frequency by which maturing neurons express the receptor of the paired odor and changing the representation of the olfactory sensory neuron landscape in the next generation.

    Kinesin-1 conformational dynamics are controlled by a cargo-sensitive TPR switch

    Shivam Shukla, Jessica A Cross ... Mark P Dodding
    Cargo-adaptor binding to the KLC-TPR domains binding triggers structural rearrangements that relieve kinesin-1 autoinhibition, enabling MAP7 recruitment, through an allosteric mechanism that connects cargo recognition to motor activation.

    Active regulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor by the membrane bilayer

    Shwetha Srinivasan, Xingcheng Lin ... Gabriela S Schlau-Cohen
    Membrane composition modulates EGFR conformational dynamics and signaling, revealing that the bilayer properties can override ligand control to influence receptor activation in health and disease.
