Computer simulations reveal the structural basis for a selective mechanism of ion-channel inhibition that could guide future pharmacological developments against associated human health disorders.
The thermosensory neuron AFD unexpectedly modulates locomotion based on tactile experience through molecular and circuit mechanisms distinct from those underlying thermosensation.
Genetic experiments combined with cellular and biochemical analyses including lipidomics performed by imaging mass spectrometry reveal that the capacity of mature B lymphocytes and germinal center B cells to synthesize some ether phospholipids is vital for normal humoral responses.
Single-cell and bulk lineage tracing reveals that adult bone marrow endothelial cells generate functional hematopoietic progenitor and mature blood cells, expanding the cell sources of postnatal hematopoiesis.
Behavioral analyses combined with genetics revealed that Caenorhabditis elegans uses an olfactory receptor-ligand module to forage for essential nutrients.
