Decomposing loss aversion from gaze allocation and pupil dilation [Neuroscience]
Loss-averse decisions, in which one avoids losses at the expense of gains, are highly prevalent. However, the underlying mechanisms remain controversial. The prevailing account highlights a valuation bias that overweighs losses relative to gains, but an alternative view stresses a response bias to avoid choices involving potential losses. Here we...

Rad51 facilitates filament assembly of meiosis-specific Dmc1 recombinase [Biochemistry]
Dmc1 recombinases are essential to homologous recombination in meiosis. Here, we studied the kinetics of the nucleoprotein filament assembly of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dmc1 using single-molecule tethered particle motion experiments and in vitro biochemical assay. ScDmc1 nucleoprotein filaments are less stable than the ScRad51 ones because of the kinetically much reduced...

Evidence from internet search data shows information-seeking responses to news of local COVID-19 cases [Economic Sciences]
The COVID-19 outbreak is a global pandemic with community circulation in many countries, including the United States, with confirmed cases in all states. The course of this pandemic will be shaped by how governments enact timely policies and disseminate information and by how the public reacts to policies and information....

Evidence for sodium-rich alkaline water in the Tagish Lake parent body and implications for amino acid synthesis and racemization [Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences]
Understanding the timing and mechanisms of amino acid synthesis and racemization on asteroidal parent bodies is key to demonstrating how amino acids evolved to be mostly left-handed in living organisms on Earth. It has been postulated that racemization can occur rapidly dependent on several factors, including the pH of the...

Pleiotropy complicates a trade-off between phage resistance and antibiotic resistance [Evolution]
Bacteria frequently encounter selection by both antibiotics and lytic bacteriophages. However, the evolutionary interactions between antibiotics and phages remain unclear, in particular, whether and when phages can drive evolutionary trade-offs with antibiotic resistance. Here, we describe Escherichia coli phage U136B, showing it relies on two host factors involved in different...

Pore-size dependence and slow relaxation of hydrogel friction on smooth surfaces [Applied Physical Sciences]
Hydrogels consist of a cross-linked polymer matrix imbibed with a solvent such as water at volume fractions that can exceed 90%. They are important in many scientific and engineering applications due to their tunable physiochemical properties, biocompatibility, and ultralow friction. Their multiphase structure leads to a complex interfacial rheology, yet...

Phalangeal curvature in a chimpanzee raised like a human: Implications for inferring arboreality in fossil hominins [Anthropology]
Arboreal primates such as chimpanzees exhibit pronounced curvature in their hand and foot phalanges, which is assumed to develop throughout life in response to mechanical loads produced by grasping and hanging from branches. Intriguingly, ancient fossil hominins also exhibit substantial phalangeal curvature, which, too, has been interpreted as a direct...

Perhaps now more than ever (1), it is abundantly clear that viruses can rapidly and dramatically alter host populations, both by direct mortality and by changing the way hosts interact with each other.

Reply to Poeppl et al.: Controlling for false positive rates is critical for accurate and consistent interpretation of findings [Biological Sciences]
In light of differences in findings presented in our meta-analysis (1) and a previous publication (2), Poeppl et al.

Reply to Hashimoto: Ketamine is not an opioid but requires opioid system for antidepressant actions [Biological Sciences]
We agree with Hashimoto (1) that the molecular mechanisms underlying the psychiatric properties of (R,S)-ketamine remain active areas of investigation. Racemic ketamine as well as esketamine [(S)-ketamine] are potent N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists and have displayed acute antidepressant and antisuicidal effects in multiple clinical studies (2, 3).

The rapid-acting antidepressant and antisuicidal effects of the anesthetic (R,S)-ketamine, an N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, is an important discovery in depression research (1). However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying (R,S)-ketamine’s antidepressant actions remain unknown.

Preventing presbycusis in mice with enhanced medial olivocochlear feedback [Neuroscience]

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) (presbycusis) first affects the ability to understand speech in background noise, even when auditory thresholds in quiet are normal. It has been suggested that cochlear denervation (“synaptopathy”) is an early contributor to age-related auditory decline. In...
