A 7-dehydrocholesterol-derived oxysterol in SLOS was found to profoundly impact neurogenesis during cortical development by interacting with glucocorticoid receptor, which points to new therapeutic approaches for SLOS by targeting the activities of this oxysterol.

A hybrid mouse/human model using mesenchymal progenitor cells reveals dynamics of human adipose tissue development and mechanisms that may enhance human adipose thermogenic capacity.

In vitro fertilization-conceived murine embryos show evidence of oxidative and metabolic stress with alteration in lactic acid metabolism.

Invasive recordings from human dorsal posterior cingulate cortex show neural population responses occur for only executive tasks, while single neuron responses occur for specific executive or episodic cognitive tasks.

Electrophysiological and pharmacological data provide evidence that the medial prefrontal cortex is essential for rats to learn a timing task, becoming unnecessary later, while the dorsal striatum does not play a role initially, taking over when animals become proficient.

Located in the legs, the miniaturized katydid ears exhibit cuticular pinnae to only capture high-ultrasonic bat echolocation calls, but katydid also hear their own calls using alternative ear paths, which suggest that their ears operate in a colossal frequency range.

The depletion of a new class of putative histone methyltransferases, including MET-2, SET-6, SET-19, SET-20, SET-21, SET-32, and SET-33, induced synergistic lifespan extension in daf-2 animals to an average lifespan nearly three times that of wild-type animals.

Insulinergic neuromodulation of hedonic food processing predicts future weight management and improves with weight loss in older overweight dieters.

Loss of full-length dystrophin expression causes significant molecular and functional defects in human and mouse myoblast, thus closing the vicious cycle of DMD pathology.

In the zebrafish spinal cord, mixed synapses contribute to neuronal connectivity and resting excitability, which helps explain violations of the well-known 'size principle' of recruitment.
