    Rapid rebalancing of co-tuned ensemble activity in the auditory cortex

    HiJee Kang, Travis A Babola, Patrick O Kanold
    Holographic neuronal stimulation shows that auditory cortex neurons with shared functional properties rapidly adjust their responses during sensory processing, revealing a circuit-level mechanism that regulates overall network activity balance.

    PPARγ mediated enhanced lipid biogenesis fuels Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth in a drug-tolerant hepatocyte environment

    Binayak Sarkar, Jyotsna Singh ... Rajesh S Gokhale
    In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies reveal that hepatocytes are significantly infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which rewires the host cell metabolism to upregulate the lipid biosynthetic pathways.

    Asynchronous mouse embryo polarization leads to heterogeneity in cell fate specification

    Adiyant Lamba, Meng Zhu ... Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz
    Mouse embryo cells undergo apical-basal polarization asynchronously at the 8-cell stage, and the timing of polarization influences subsequent lineage allocation.

    Neural correlates and reinstatement of recent and remote memory in children and young adults

    Iryna Schommartz, Philip F Lembcke ... Yee Lee Shing
    Children show less robust memory retention overnight and after 2 weeks, with memories transforming more rapidly from detailed to gist-like neural representations, revealing less stable consolidation mechanisms than in adults.

    Sex differences in BNST signaling and BNST CRF in fear processing

    Olivia J Hon, Sofia Neira ... Thomas L Kash
    Critical differences in how the BNST responds to different types of fear across male and female mice.

    Characterisation of cell-scale signalling by the core planar polarity pathway during Drosophila wing development

    Alexandre Carayon, Helen Strutt, David Strutt
    Quantitative Drosophila pupal wing experiments support planar polarity depending on cell-scale signalling that does not involve depletion of a limited pool of core proteins or polarised transport on microtubules.

    Coenzyme-protein interactions since early life

    Alma Carolina Sanchez Rocha, Mikhail Makarov ... Klára Hlouchová
    Amino acids that were abundant since the prebiotic era are enriched in protein binding sites of the most ancient coenzymes, supporting the plausibility of an early coenzyme–peptide world.

    Sub-surface deformation of individual fingerprint ridges during tactile interactions

    Giulia Corniani, Zing S Lee ... Hannes P Saal
    Sub-surface imaging demonstrates that vertical shear beneath fingertip ridges enables high mechanical spatial resolution to support tactile sensing.

    Ptbp1 is not required for retinal neurogenesis and cell fate specification

    Haley Appel, Rogger P Carmen-Orozco ... Seth Blackshaw
    Loss of function of Ptbp1 in retinal progenitors leads to changes in RNA splicing but does not affect neurogenesis and cell fate specification.

    Mechanism of SK2 channel gating and its modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules

    Samantha J Cassell, Weiyan Li ... Jonathan R Whicher
    Cryo-EM and electrophysiology reveal the mechanism of SK2 channel modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules, providing insights that enable the rational design of targeted SK2 channel therapeutics.
