In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than by synaptopathy.
A conserved neuropeptidergic circuit directly links internal glucose levels to sweet taste sensitivity, providing a central mechanism for coupling metabolic state to feeding behavior.
Residual plasma from rapid routine clinical chemistry tubes enables cell-free DNA NGS-based analysis, providing an untapped, scalable, and accessible resource without specialized collection workflows.
RadD recognition by NKp46 converts Fusobacterium nucleatum from an immune-evasive pathogen into a trigger of natural killer cell-mediated tumor control in a context-dependent manner.

Bivalent EABR mRNA boosters broaden neutralizing responses to Omicron subvariants by promoting diverse receptor-binding domain epitope targeting, although antibody responses remain partially shaped by immune imprinting from prior vaccination.
During convergent extension morphogenesis, non-canonical Wnt induces the signal transducer Dishevelled to transition from Vangl to Frizzled, a process that is inhibited by Prickle but facilitated by the co-receptor Ror.
