    Mesolimbic dopamine ramps reflect environmental timescales

    Joseph R Floeder, Huijeong Jeong ... Vijay Mohan K Namboodiri
    Mesolimbic dopamine ramps emerge only when overall event rates are high, thereby providing a key constraint on theories of dopamine signaling.

    The long noncoding RNA lnc-FANCI-2 intrinsically restricts RAS signaling in human papillomavirus type 16-infected cervical cancer cells

    Haibin Liu, Lulu Yu ... Zhi-Ming Zheng
    A newly discovered long noncoding RNA lnc-FANCI-2 suppresses RAS signaling to modulate Akt and Erk1/2 phosphorylation in high-risk HPV cervical cancer, consequently regulating HPV carcinogenesis.

    Thrifty wide-context models of B cell receptor somatic hypermutation

    Kevin Sung, Mackenzie M Johnson ... Frederick A Matsen
    Convolutional embedding models efficiently capture wide sequence context in antibody somatic hypermutation, avoiding exponential k-mer parameter scaling and eliminating the need for per-site modeling.

    Multi-omics investigation of spontaneous T2DM macaque emphasizes gut microbiota could up-regulate the absorption of excess palmitic acid in the T2DM progression

    Xu Liu, Yuchen Xie ... Jing Li
    Gut dysbiosis and specific microbiota composition promoted the absorption of excess palmitic acid in the ileum, driving its accumulation in the serum.

    Cap-independent co-expression of dsRNA-sensing and NF-κB pathway inhibitors enables controllable self-amplifying RNA expression with reduced immunotoxicity

    Tony KY Lim, Anne Ritoux ... Ewan St John Smith
    Engineering self-amplifying RNA to intrinsically disarm the innate immune pathways it triggers enables durable, externally controlled gene expression with reduced cytotoxicity and cytokine release, eliminating the need for exogenous immunosuppressants.

    Orexin population activity precisely reflects net body movement across behavioral and metabolic states

    Alexander L Tesmer, Paulius Viskaitis ... Denis Burdakov
    Orexin neurons precisely track body movement across behavioral and metabolic states, revealing a neural mechanism that links motor activity to arousal and energy resources.

    A neural network model that generates salt concentration memory-dependent chemotaxis in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Masakatsu Hironaka, Tomonari Sumi
    Reversible synaptic plasticity between sensory neurons and interneurons, switching between inhibitory and excitatory, underpins the neural basis of salt concentration memory-dependent preference reversal in Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Enalapril mitigates senescence and aging-related phenotypes in human cells and mice via pSmad1/5/9-driven antioxidative genes

    Wencong Lyu, Haochen Wang ... Wei Tao
    Enalapril combats the effects of senescence by activating the pSmad1/5/9–antioxidative gene axis, enhancing antioxidative defenses and promoting cell proliferation, thereby supporting healthy aging.

    NAB2-STAT6 drives an EGR1-dependent neuroendocrine program in solitary fibrous tumors

    Connor Hill, Alexandra Indeglia ... Alessandro Gardini
    Molecular profiling with omics approaches reveals the resemblance between neuroendocrine malignancies and solitary fibrous tumors, rare soft tissue cancers with no effective treatment options.
