This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

A new computational model improves estimation of Granger connectivity by removing spurious effects of external inputs, and estimation of linear encoding models by removing spurious effects of ...

CCR4 expression in Tregs is critical for limiting proinflammatory Th1 cell-mediated immune responses and atherosclerosis by maintaining the suppressive and migratory functions of Tregs.

This article makes a valuable contribution to the field by uncovering a molecular mechanism for miRNA intracellular retention, mediated by the interaction of PCBP2, SYNCRIP, and specific miRNA motifs.

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

This important study uses long-term behavioural observations to understand the factors that influence female-on-female aggression in gorilla social groups. The evidence supporting the claims is ...

Large-scale microscopy combined with tissue clearing and expansion enables nanoscale imaging of centimeter scale specimens.

This is an important study that combines replications of findings and novel detailed MRI investigations to assess the impact of environmental enrichment and maternal behavior on mice brain structure ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...
