Striatal dopamine can enhance both fast working memory, and slow reinforcement learning, while reducing implicit effort cost sensitivity
Abstract Associations can be learned incrementally, via reinforcement learning (RL), or stored instantly in working memory (WM). While WM is fast, it is also capacity-limited and effortful....
Human newborns spontaneously attend to prosocial interactions
A mechanosensitive ion channel controls touch-triggered stigma movement through manipulation of calcium signature in Torenia
Towards fair decentralized benchmarking of healthcare AI algorithms with the Federated Tumor Segmentation (FeTS) challenge
Abstract Computational competitions are the standard for benchmarking medical image analysis algorithms, but they typically use small curated test datasets acquired at a few centers, leaving...
Distinct echinocandin responses of Candida albicans and Candida auris cell walls revealed by solid-state NMR
Abstract Invasive candidiasis affects 1.6 million people annually, with high mortality among immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. Echinocandins are front...
Marker pen writing of perovskite solar modules
Cytokinin depends on GA biosynthesis and signaling to regulate different aspects of vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis
Abstract The vegetative juvenile-to-adult transition (vegetative phase change) is a critical phase in plant development, the timing of which is controlled by the highly conserved age pathway...
Early detection of emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants from wastewater through genome sequencing and machine learning
Amines tuned controllable carbonylation for the synthesis of γ-lactones and 1,4-diones
Neural signatures of emotional intent and inference align during social consensus
The PARP inhibitor talazoparib synergizes with reovirus to induce cancer killing and tumour control in vivo in mouse models
In silico genomic surveillance by CoVerage predicts and characterizes SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest
Abstract Rapidly evolving viral pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 continuously accumulate amino acid changes, some of which affect transmissibility, virulence or impr...
Quasi-ordered plasmonic metasurfaces with unclonable stochastic scattering for secure authentication
Identification of gut bacteria reductases that biotransform steroid hormones
Abstract The metabolism of steroid hormones by the gut microbiome is increasingly recognized as a key factor in human health; however, the specific enzymes mediating these transformations re...
Dishevelled-1 regulates global transcriptomic changes and associates with ETS1 transcription factor
Abstract Dishevelled (DVL) is a crucial component of the Wnt-signaling pathway and is vital for multiple physiological processes. Previously thought to have a classically cytoplasmic role, t...
High-coverage allele-resolved single-cell DNA methylation profiling reveals cell lineage, X-inactivation state, and replication dynamics
Abstract DNA methylation patterns at crucial short sequence features, such as enhancers and promoters, may convey key information about cell lineage and state. The need for high-reso...
Symmetry breaking-induced N-body electrodynamic forces in optical matter systems
Tunable synthesis of atomic one-dimensional VxTey magnets within single-walled carbon nanotubes
Enhanced hydrogen peroxide photosynthesis via charge-complementary π-electron sites
The role of gene duplication and paralog specialisation in the evolution of the mammalian PRPS complex
Abstract The phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (PRPS) enzyme catalyzes a chokepoint reaction in nucleotide production, making it essential for life. Here, we show that the pres...
Generic comparison of lumen nucleation and fusion in epithelial organoids with and without hydrostatic pressure
Abstract Many internal organs in the body harbor a fluid-filled lumen. Lumen nucleation and fusion have been reported as dependent on organ-type during organogenesis. In contrast, th...
Supramolecular nanocrystalline membranes with well-aligned subnanochannels for enhanced reverse osmosis desalination
Organocatalytic kinetic resolution of sulfinamides by N/O exchange
Methods to achieve near-millisecond energy relaxation and dephasing times for a superconducting transmon qubit
Abstract Superconducting qubits are one of the most promising physical systems for implementing quantum computers. However, executing quantum algorithms of practical computational advantage...
Qutrit toric code and parafermions in trapped ions
Abstract The development of programmable quantum devices can be measured by the complexity of many-body states that they are able to prepare. Among the most significant are topologically ord...
