    The fate of pyruvate dictates cell growth by modulating cellular redox potential

    Ashish G Toshniwal, Geanette Lam ... Jared Rutter
    Pyruvate dictates redox balance and cell size, establishing metabolism as a dominant regulator of cellular fitness, unveiling new strategies to modulate cancer, regeneration, and diabetes.

    Lifestyles shape genome size and gene content in fungal pathogens

    Anna Fijarczyk, Pauline Hessenauer ... Christian R Landry
    A genomic analysis shows that the evolution of genome size and gene content among fungal pathogens in the class Sordariomycetes varies depending on their interactions with hosts and vectors.

    Endoscopic liquid biopsies of gastric fluid in a large human patient cohort reveal DNA content as a candidate tumor biomarker in gastric cancer

    Francine C Cadoná, Thais F Bartelli ... Emmanuel Dias-Neto
    Elevated gfDNA supports gastric cancer diagnosis and may guide management when combined with tissue biopsies, and in established cancer, higher gfDNA may predict better outcomes, potentially indicating immune-cell infiltration.

    Strikingly different neurotransmitter release strategies in dopaminergic subclasses

    Ana Dorrego-Rivas, Darren J Byrne ... Matthew S Grubb
    Different locations of neurotransmitter release sites in axon-bearing and anaxonic olfactory bulb dopaminergic neurons allow self-inhibition only in anaxonic cells, showing how polarity differences create separate functional roles in sensory processing.

    Transcriptional subtypes on immune microenvironment and predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis in human pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

    Yang Liu, Xu Yan ... Lingyu Li
    Distinct transcriptional subtypes in PPGLs link molecular programs with immune context, providing biomarkers for recurrence risk and therapeutic targeting.

    Dissociable memory modulation mechanisms facilitate fear amnesia at different timescales

    Yinmei Ni, Ye Wang ... Jian Li
    The retrieval-extinction paradigm elicits a short-term fear amnesia that differs in cue specificity, timescale, and dependence on thought-control ability from the long-term amnesia believed to be associated with memory reconsolidation.

    Chromatin accessibility variation provides insights into missing regulation underlying immune-mediated diseases

    Raehoon Jeong, Martha L Bulyk
    Analyzing population-level chromatin accessibility data shows added benefit over utilizing only gene expression data in elucidating the genetic mechanism of disease-associated variants.

    Early changes in the properties of CA3 engram cells explored with a novel viral tool in mice

    Dario Cupolillo, Noelle Grosjean ... Christophe Mulle
    A novel viral tool (FLEN) is designed, and used to monitor changes in the intrinsic and synaptic properties of engram cells quickly (3–6 hours) following encoding of a memory.

    IL-27 limits HSPC differentiation during infection and protects from stem cell exhaustion

    Daniel L Aldridge, Zachary Lanzar ... Christopher A Hunter
    Functional analyses showcase that in the absence of IL-27, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are more likely to become monocytes during toxoplasmosis, making them less responsive after infection.

    Separating the control of moving and holding in human post-stroke arm paresis

    Alkis M Hadjiosif, Kahori Kita ... John W Krakauer
    Patients with stroke often show impairment in both moving and holding the arm, deficits that are dissociable experimentally, suggesting that moving and holding are controlled by separate neural mechanisms.
