    Peripheral anatomy and central connectivity of proprioceptive sensory neurons in the Drosophila wing

    Ellen Lesser, Anthony J Moussa, John C Tuthill
    Comprehensive mapping of wing sensory neurons in Drosophila reveals that some proprioceptors make direct connections onto flight steering motor neurons, enabling rapid feedback control during flight.

    Defining the chromatin-associated protein landscapes on Trypanosoma brucei repetitive elements using synthetic TALE proteins

    Roberta Carloni, Tadhg Devlin ... Robin C Allshire
    Synthetic proteins designed to bind specific repetitive DNA sequences in the Trypanosoma brucei genome allow the identification of proteins enriched over different DNA elements.

    Nup107 is a crucial regulator of torso-mediated metamorphic transition in Drosophila melanogaster

    Jyotsna Kawadkar, Pradyumna Ajit Joshi, Ram Kumar Mishra
    Y-complex nucleoporin, Nup107, can regulate ecdysone production by affecting the transcription of Halloween genes and levels of RTK receptor, torso, for the metamorphic transition from larva to pupa.

    Descending locus coeruleus noradrenergic signaling to spinal astrocyte subset is required for stress-induced mechanical pain hypersensitivity

    Riku Kawanabe-Kobayashi, Sawako Uchiyama ... Makoto Tsuda
    Stress activates a locus coeruleus–spinal dorsal horn noradrenergic circuit that drives mechanical pain hypersensitivity through Hes5-positive astrocytes.

    Automated genome mining predicts structural diversity and taxonomic distribution of peptide metallophores across bacteria

    Zachary L Reitz, Bita Pourmohsenin ... Marnix H Medema
    Automated detection of metallophore biosynthesis reveals that metal-chelating non-ribosomal peptides are widespread, chemically diverse, and deeply rooted in bacterial evolution.

    Cardiac neurons expressing a glucagon-like receptor mediate cardiac arrhythmia induced by high-fat diet in Drosophila

    Yunpo Zhao, Jianli Duan ... Zhe Han
    A conserved glucagon signaling pathway links high-fat diet-induced metabolic imbalance to cardiac arrhythmia through hormone-producing cells and heart-innervating neurons that regulate rhythmicity.

    Progressive mural cell deficiencies across the lifespan in a foxf2 model of cerebral small vessel disease

    Merry Faye E Graff, Emma EM Heeg ... Sarah J Childs
    Loss of foxf2 in zebrafish leads to a reduced pericyte progenitor pool in embryos and progresses to severe cerebrovascular defects over the lifespan, suggesting that cerebral small vessel disease in adults has roots in development.

    Concatenated modular BK channel constructs reveal divergent stoichiometry in gating control by LRRC26 (γ1), pore, and selectivity filter

    Guanxing Chen, Qin Li ... Jiusheng Yan
    Regulatory stoichiometry in large-conductance potassium (BK) channels diverges by mechanism, separating single-subunit activation, graded pore contributions, and collective selectivity-filter control.

    High-fidelity neural speech reconstruction through an efficient acoustic-linguistic dual-pathway framework

    Jiawei Li, Chunxu Guo ... Yuanning Li
    Concurrent decoding of acoustic detail and linguistic structure enables natural, intelligible speech synthesis from limited human cortical recordings, resolving a fundamental constraint in neural speech reconstruction.
    1. Neuroscience

    Adjoint propagation of error signal through modular recurrent neural networks for biologically plausible learning

    Zhuo Liu, Hao Shu ... Tao Chen
    The adjoint propagation framework enables the concurrent flow of signals and errors, providing a biologically and physically plausible learning mechanism.
