    Synaptic enrichment and dynamic regulation of the two opposing dopamine receptors within the same neurons

    Shun Hiramatsu, Kokoro Saito ... Hiromu Tanimoto
    The opposing dopamine receptors Dop1R1 and Dop2R are both enriched around the pre- and postsynaptic sites of different types of neurons, including dopaminergic neurons, in the fly brain.

    Cold induces brain region-selective cell activity-dependent lipid metabolism

    Hyeonyoung Min, Yale Y Yang, Yunlei Yang
    It is of significance in identifying temperature sensitive brain regions in brain energy metabolism, as which might provide potential targetable sites in the treatment of brain lipid metabolism-associated neurological disorders.

    Persistent cross-species transmission systems dominate Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 epidemiology in a high incidence region: A genomic epidemiology study

    Gillian AM Tarr, Linda Chui ... Tim A McAllister
    E. coli O157 infections in humans are closely linked to strains circulating in local cattle populations, with some strains persisting as long as 13 years.

    PEBP1 amplifies mitochondrial dysfunction-induced integrated stress response

    Ling Cheng, Ian Meliala ... Mikael Björklund
    A thermal stability-based proteomic analysis identifies cytoplasmic PEBP1 as a mediator of mitochondrial dysfunction-induced stress response, highlighting its potential role in cellular adaptation mechanisms.

    MftG is crucial for ethanol metabolism of mycobacteria by linking mycofactocin oxidation to respiration

    Ana Patrícia Graça, Vadim Nikitushkin ... Gerald Lackner
    The mftG gene, present in the majority of mycofactocin gene clusters, encodes an oxidoreductase that facilitates ethanol utilization by reoxidation of mycofactocins and channeling electrons towards the respiratory chain.

    Post-retrieval noradrenergic activation impairs subsequent memory depending on cortico-hippocampal reactivation

    Hendrik Heinbockel, Gregor Leicht ... Lars Schwabe
    Impairing effects of post-retrieval noradrenergic but not glucocorticoid activation on future recall are linked to hippocampal reactivation and category-level reinstatement in ventral temporal cortex during memory retrieval.

    eIF3 engages with 3’-UTR termini of highly translated mRNAs

    Santi Mestre-Fos, Lucas Ferguson ... Jamie HD Cate
    The extent of human eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF3 interaction with the 3' ends of mRNA 3' untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) correlates with the level of translation.
