Following chronic hyperactivation using chemogenetics, vulnerable substantia nigra dopamine neurons display progressive degeneration unlike neighboring ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons.
Behavioural patterns among female gorillas indicate that animals guide their aggressive interactions towards more or less powerful groupmates depending on the conditions they experience.
Functional organoids prepared from chicken embryonic gut consisting of pacemaker cells and smooth muscles undergo periodic contractions, offering a useful tool to understand rhythm control in multicellular systems.
KLF2 activity and impaired interferon signaling contribute to HIV-1 persistence by restricting antiviral immunity in infected CD4 T cells during early infection.
COMMD3 regulates endosomal trafficking outside the Commander holo-complex, revealing that a trafficking complex subunit can function independently of the entire complex.
Disrupting full-length BEND2 impairs ovarian reserve establishment without causing male sterility, highlighting a sex-specific role in fertility and offering new insights into genetic contributions to infertility diagnosis and reproductive health.
The substantia nigra inhibits all PPN neurons and causes place aversion, while the globus pallidus selectively inhibits caudal non-cholinergic PPN neurons and causes place preference.
