The growth of wild Drosophila larvae on fruits is promoted by a yeast releasing essential nutrients extracellularly or by a stable association with a nutrient-providing bacterium established by microbe–microbe interactions.

Molecular analyses reveal the neuroendocrine control of seasonal life-history transitions in birds.

A long-term arousal state is linked to the acute decision to leave a food patch by sensory neurons that integrate neuromodulatory information, food intake, and environmental signals.

Biochemical and in vivo physiology imaging reveal that plant pathogens actively imbalance the apoplastic eAdo/eATP levels as a virulence mechanism.

Using long-term in vivo imaging with miniature two-photon microscopy, microglia surveillance is sleep state-dependent and stress-induced in freely behaving mice, regulated by the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system and β₂-adrenergic receptors signaling.

AlphaFold 2 models capture binding pocket structures accurately but fare poorly when used to predict ligand-binding poses.

Microglia differentially modulate the neuronal activities via P2Y12 and its downstream Ca²⁺ signaling in a brain region-specific manner, which facilitates and stabilizes the response to general anesthesia.

p21-activated kinase 3 (PAK3) is a factor related to radiation-induced cognitive decline, and it has been found that regulating it leads to the recovery of cognitive decline induced by radiation.

The hadal snailfish rapidly evolved and adapted to extreme deep-sea environments, modifying crucial genes and enhancing tolerance to high-hydrostatic pressure through ferritin gene duplication.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy in neoadjuvant setting exhibited a promising anti-tumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in triple-negative breast cancer patients.
