A complementary sex determination locus is conserved in ants and dates back to approximately 112 million years ago.

New tools make it possible to investigate the timing and importance of different immune effectors in defense against infection.

Dopamine midbrain neurons surviving a lesion slowly recover their in vivo firing patterns by homeostatic pacemaker acceleration mediated by Kv4.3 channel downregulation.

Arginase 2 in macrophages promotes cardiac aging phenotype via paracrine release of IL-1β.

Loss of the glutamate transporters EAAT5b and EAAT7 disrupts wavelength-specific visual processing and UV-dependent prey detection in zebrafish, revealing their key roles in modulating light integration and behaviorally relevant vision.

Optimal cue integration, Bayesian Causal Inference, spatial orienting, speech illusions and other key phenomena in audiovisual perception naturally emerge from the collective behavior of a population of Multisensory Correlation Detector.

Sub-membrane microtubule array, known to prevent excessive glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, depends on kinesin-1 KIF5B, which moves microtubules to both generate and remodel this array, potentially regulating the dosage of secretion.

New psychoactive substances activate cannabinoid receptors using distinct ligand-receptor interactions.

The insecticidal activity of betulin, a plant-derived metabolite, against the peach aphid depends on specific targeting and inhibition of MpGABR.

Short heat shock factor variants prevent hyperactivation of thermotolerance through a noncanonical heat shock response, thereby balancing heat stress response and plant growth.
