Structural and immunological characterization of the H3 influenza hemagglutinin during antigenic drift

Structurally resolving glycans remains a challenge. Here, the authors analyse influenza H3 hemagglutinin glycan evolution to show that over five decades of glycan incorporation highly impact structural stability and epitope accessibility, particularly in the head domain, providing key insights for vaccine design.

Global incidence of female birdsong is predicted by territoriality and biparental care in songbirds

Elaborate traits like birdsong are thought to be sexually selected in males but are poorly understood in females. This study shows that year-round territoriality and biparental care are selected for female birdsong, whereas migration, seasonal territoriality, and loss of male care led to losses of female song.

Resurgent Na⁺ currents promote ultrafast spiking in projection neurons that drive fine motor control

The zebra finch robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA) directs singing by providing descending projections to brainstem motor neurons. The authors show that electrophysiological characteristics of RA neurons rely on resurgent Na+ currents that emerge early during song development only in males.

Intranasal administration of broad-spectrum macrocyclic peptide inhibitor protects against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants

Newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants underscore the need for broad-spectrum antiviral solutions. This study shows a macrocyclic peptide inhibitor that locks the SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer into a “closed” conformation by engaging a conserved region, and demonstrates that intranasal administration of the peptide inhibitor protects against Omicron variants.

How do neural circuits evolve to encode new social behaviors? Here we show that in Drosophila santomea, females signal their sexual receptivity by spreading wings in response to male songs, and this recently originated social behavior evolved through the actualization of a pre-existing latent circuit.
