A navigational model exploring social learning strategies differing in cognitive complexity in homing pigeons shows that simple averaging sufficiently explains collective route improvements, without requiring cumulative cultural evolution.
BRCA1/2 mutations rewire the lung adenocarcinoma microenvironment through distinct immune programs, with BRCA1-linked type I interferon signaling and CD8+ T activation contrasting BRCA2-linked MHC-II antigen presentation and CD4+ T differentiation.
Hearing impairment selectively disrupts neural tracking of speech at both short and long temporal scales during multi-speaker listening, while preserving intermediate linguistic processing.
Glycolytic activation directly drives Kupffer cell loss in early metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, highlighting a targetable metabolic vulnerability.
The optimized protocol for isolating small extracellular vesicles from small blood volumes, confirmed by independent methods including cryo-electron microscopy, ensures superior purity and high yield for reliable biomarker detection.

Descending neurons that encode widefield motion vision in the fly have sexually dimorphic velocity tuning, while the wing beat amplitude, which these neurons presumably control, is monomorphic.

Faster early-season development, especially under nighttime warming, advances the point at which the autumn phenology of European beech becomes responsive to late-summer cooling.

Early enhancer logic precisely aligns developmental boundaries by integrating HOX, GATA, and signaling inputs, ensuring correct tissue patterning and preventing mirror-image duplications in the developing wing.
