Enterovirus D68, a cause of acute flaccid myelitis, disrupts the composition and function of the nuclear pore complex primarily through its 2A protease, which is also toxic to motor neurons.
Disrupting oligodendrocytes during a narrow early-life window leaves cerebellar circuits permanently mistimed, but adult re-synchronization restores social and motor behavior.

Presynaptic endocytic machinery is constitutively deployed to periactive zones, indicating independent assembly pathways for the exo- and endocytic machineries of nerve terminals.
Terminal tracheal cells in Drosophila evade innate immune activation, revealing a fundamental trade-off in which suppression of canonical immune signaling preserves Foxo-dependent plasticity and sustains respiratory function.
Analyses of two independent phylogenomic datasets suggest an explosive radiation at the origin of Spiralia, with implications for understanding the group's evolutionary history.
