Working memory constraints for visuomotor retrieval strategies

This study estimates working memory constraints in visuomotor adaptation by analyzing performance in item-recognition and rotation recall tasks, finding a capacity limit of 2-5 items and increased guessing with larger set sizes.

Learning generalizable visuomotor mappings for de novo skills

This paper investigates how humans form visuomotor mappings through training regimes, finding that variability in start-target pairs promotes generalizable learning.

LRRK2 Phosphorylates Neuronal Elav RNA-Binding Proteins to RegulatePhenotypes Relevant to Parkinson's Disease

This study shows LRRK2 phosphorylates neuronal ELAV proteins, affecting mRNA regulation and contributing to Parkinson's disease pathology in mice.

A Single Molecule Investigation of I-Motif: Stability, Folding Kinetics, and Potential as an In-situ pH Sensor

The paper uses single molecule FRET to study i-motif stability, folding kinetics, and pH sensing properties in human telomeric sequences.

In vivo photocontrol of microtubule dynamics and integrity, migration and mitosis, by the potent GFP-imaging-compatible photoswitchable reagents SBTubA4P and SBTub2M

This paper introduces two new photoswitchable reagents for in vivo control of microtubule dynamics and related processes, showing their effectiveness in 3D systems and model organisms.

CTP and parS coordinate ParB partition complex dynamics and ParA-ATPase activation for ParABS-mediated DNA partitioning

The paper investigates how CTP and parS modulate ParBF-ParAF complex assembly and ParA-ATPase activation in ParABS-mediated DNA partitioning.

Endothelial NRP2 influences angiogenesis by regulating actin pattern development and α5-integrin-p-FAK complex recruitment to assembling adhesion sites

This study shows that endothelial NRP2 promotes angiogenesis by regulating actin dynamics and α5-integrin-p-FAK complex recruitment to adhesion sites, and its loss impairs tumor growth and retinal vascular development.

Efficient prediction of microplastic counts from mass measurements

This study uses machine learning to predict microplastic counts from mass measurements, showing better performance than manual counting for larger and homogeneous samples.

Designing Feature-Controlled Humanoid Antibody Discovery Libraries Using Generative Adversarial Networks

This paper uses a GAN to generate diverse human antibody libraries with controlled properties, validated through phage display and biophysical evaluation.

Identification and characterization of OmpT-like proteases in uropathogenic Escherichia coli clinical isolates

The paper measures OmpT protease activity in UPEC isolates and finds higher activity in symptomatic UTI strains, with some isolates also expressing an additional ompT-like gene, arlC.

Distinct cytoskeletal proteins define zones of enhanced cell wall synthesis in Helicobacter pylori

The paper identifies cytoskeletal proteins that regulate cell wall synthesis in Helicobacter pylori, linking their distribution to specific Gaussian curvatures that maintain helical shape.

The C-Terminal Domain Of ParB Is Critical For Dynamic DNA Binding And Bridging Interactions Which Condense The Bacterial Centromere

This study identifies the C-terminal domain of ParB as critical for DNA binding and bridging interactions that drive bacterial chromosome condensation.
