    Trophic eggs affect caste determination in the ant Pogonomyrmex rugosus

    Eléonore Genzoni, Tanja Schwander, Laurent Keller
    Experiments manipulations show that trophic eggs can suppress queen development and therefore regulate caste determination in ants.

    Elevated ubiquitin phosphorylation by PINK1 contributes to proteasomal impairment and promotes neurodegeneration

    Cong Chen, Tong-Yao Gao ... Wei-Ping Zhang
    Elevated ubiquitin phosphorylation disrupts proteasomal function, creating a self-amplifying cycle that drives progressive protein aggregation and neuronal injury across multiple neurodegenerative conditions.

    PA28γ promotes the malignant progression of tumor by elevating mitochondrial function via C1QBP

    Jiongke Wang, Yujie Shi ... Qianming Chen
    The promotion of C1QBP accumulation by PA28γ leads to the malignant progression of tumor by affecting mitochondrial function, which could be a launch pad for therapeutic intervention of tumor development.

    Altered reactivity to threatening stimuli in Drosophila models of Parkinson’s disease, revealed by a trial-based assay

    Márton Kajtor, Viktor András Billes ... Balázs Hangya
    An inexpensive, scalable trial-based behavioral assay revealed quantitative difference in fruit flies' escape behavior across different genetic models of neurodegeneration.

    N-cadherin mechanosensing in ovarian follicles controls oocyte maturation and ovulation

    Alaknanda Emery, Orest W Blaschuk ... Darryl L Russell
    A critical role for N-cadherin in ovarian follicular development and ovulation is demonstrated with inhibitors or knockout of N-cadherin shown to inhibit ovulation by blocking mechanotransduction of ovulatory genes.

    Refining the resolution of the yeast genotype–phenotype map using single-cell RNA-sequencing

    Arnaud N'Guessan, Wen Yuan Tong ... Alex N Nguyen Ba
    Single-cell RNA sequencing of thousands of yeast progeny reveals how gene expression differences and heritability drive phenotypic diversity.

    Optimal information gain at the onset of habituation to repeated stimuli

    Giorgio Nicoletti, Matteo Bruzzone ... Daniel Maria Busiello
    The onset of habituation phenomena enables accurate processing of external stimuli when biological systems adapt their parameters to balance dissipation and the information between input and response.

    Learning place cells and remapping by decoding the cognitive map

    Markus Borud Pettersen, Vemund Schøyen ... Mikkel E Lepperød
    Border cells are sufficient to generate place cells and remapping during path integration in artificial neural networks, challenging the role of grid cells for spatial navigation.

    Phosphoglycerate mutase regulates Treg differentiation through control of serine synthesis and one-carbon metabolism

    Wesley H Godfrey, Judy J Lee ... Michael D Kornberg
    The glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate mutase supports Treg function, identifying a novel therapeutic target for immune modulation and demonstrating that glycolytic regulation of T cells is more nuanced than previously appreciated.

    Efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant stereotactic body radiation therapy plus dalpiciclib and exemestane for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer: A prospective pilot study

    Yu Zhang, Shuo Cao ... Caigang Liu
    Neoadjuvant SBRT with dalpiciclib and exemestane resulted in a 16.7% RCB 0-I rate and a 91.7% ORR, with acceptable toxicities in HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients.
