    Environmental pH signals the release of monosaccharides from cell wall in coral symbiotic alga

    Yuu Ishii, Hironori Ishii ... Shinichiro Maruyama
    Coral symbiotic alga is capable of degrading the own cell wall components by cellulase-related enzymes and releasing sugars as a simple and autonomous environmental response, even when the host-derived signals are not present.

    High-resolution volumetric imaging constrains compartmental models to explore synaptic integration and temporal processing by cochlear nucleus globular bushy cells

    George A Spirou, Matthew Kersting ... Paul B Manis
    Volume electron-microscopic reconstructions of auditory brainstem neurons and their afferent synapses were used to develop a pipeline creating biophysically defined computational models with heterogenous inputs, revealing roles for subthreshold synapses to enhance temporal processing unique features of their dendrites.
