    Degradation of Gadd45 mRNA by nonsense-mediated decay is essential for viability

    Jonathan O Nelson, Kristin A Moore ... Mark M Metzstein
    Excess expression of the Gadd45 mRNA accounts for lethality when nonsense-mediated decay is lost in Drosophila and mammalian cells, revealing that this pathway is a critical gene regulatory mechanism.

    Behavioral training promotes multiple adaptive processes following acute hearing loss

    Peter Keating, Onayomi Rosenior-Patten ... Andrew J King
    Training enables adult humans to rapidly adapt their sound localization abilities to unilateral hearing loss by combining different strategies that rely on partially distinct neurophysiological substrates.

    Neural signatures of perceptual inference

    William Sedley, Phillip E Gander ... Timothy D Griffiths
    Changes to sensory predictions are encoded by beta oscillations, surprise due to prediction violations by gamma oscillations, and alpha oscillations may have a role in controlling the precision of predictions.

    Stem cell progeny contribute to the schistosome host-parasite interface

    James J Collins III, George R Wendt ... Phillip A Newmark
    Stem cells are found to continually rejuvenate the epidermis of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni.

    Noise modulation in retinoic acid signaling sharpens segmental boundaries of gene expression in the embryonic zebrafish hindbrain

    Julian Sosnik, Likun Zheng ... Thomas F Schilling
    Direct measurements of retinoic acid using fluorescence lifetime imaging reveal a new role for cellular retinoic acid binding proteins in noise attenuation that is critical to sharpen hindbrain rhombomere boundaries.

    The innate immune sensor IFI16 recognizes foreign DNA in the nucleus by scanning along the duplex

    Sarah A Stratmann, Seamus R Morrone ... Jungsan Sohn
    The scanning-assisted clustering mechanism of IFI16 not only allows efficient assembly on exposed foreign-dsDNA, but also suppresses the engagement of chromatinized self-dsDNA.

    Spatial sequestration and detoxification of Huntingtin by the ribosome quality control complex

    Junsheng Yang, Xinxin Hao ... Thomas Nyström
    A genome-wide screen in yeast reveals that key proteins in ribosome quality control also regulate mutant Huntingtin aggregation and toxicity.

    Temporal modulation of collective cell behavior controls vascular network topology

    Esther Kur, Jiha Kim ... Chenghua Gu
    Tissue-specific temporal regulators impinge on the VEGF/Delta-Notch pathway to vary tip cell selection pace yielding diverse densities of vascular network.
    1. Neuroscience

    Midbrain dopamine neurons compute inferred and cached value prediction errors in a common framework

    Brian F Sadacca, Joshua L Jones, Geoffrey Schoenbaum
    Midbrain dopamine neurons in rats signal discrepancies between predicted and actual rewards, regardless of whether the rewards are predicted on the basis of experience or inference.

    Rhodopsin targeted transcriptional silencing by DNA-binding

    Salvatore Botta, Elena Marrocco ... Enrico Maria Surace
    Photoreceptor genomic binding of a 20 base-pair-long DNA sequence by a synthetic DNA-binding protein turns off Rhodopsin expression.
