    Hyperactivated glycolysis drives spatially patterned Kupffer cell depletion in MASLD

    Jia He, Ran Li ... Zhao Shan
    Glycolytic activation directly drives Kupffer cell loss in early metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, highlighting a targetable metabolic vulnerability.

    Inhibitory columnar feedback neurons are involved in motion processing in Drosophila

    Miriam Henning, Madhura D Ketkar ... Marion Silies
    Inhibitory GABAergic feedback neurons tune direction-selective motion signals in Drosophila, sharpening behavioral responses to rapidly changing visual stimuli and expanding canonical feedforward models of visual motion computation.

    Cognitive simplicity drives collective route improvements in homing pigeons

    Shoubhik Chandan Banerjee, Fritz A Francisco, Albert B Kao
    A navigational model exploring social learning strategies differing in cognitive complexity in homing pigeons shows that simple averaging sufficiently explains collective route improvements, without requiring cumulative cultural evolution.

    Sexual dimorphism in sensorimotor transformation of optic flow

    Sarah Nicholas, Katja Sporar Klinge ... Karin Nordström
    Descending neurons that encode widefield motion vision in the fly have sexually dimorphic velocity tuning, while the wing beat amplitude, which these neurons presumably control, is monomorphic.

    Developmental constraints mediate the reversal of temperature effects on the autumn phenology of European beech after the summer solstice

    Dominic Rebindaine, Thomas W Crowther ... Constantin M Zohner
    Faster early-season development, especially under nighttime warming, advances the point at which the autumn phenology of European beech becomes responsive to late-summer cooling.

    In situ mutational screening and CRISPR interference define apterous cis-regulatory inputs during compartment boundary formation

    Gustavo Aguilar, Michèle E Sickmann ... Martin Müller
    Early enhancer logic precisely aligns developmental boundaries by integrating HOX, GATA, and signaling inputs, ensuring correct tissue patterning and preventing mirror-image duplications in the developing wing.

    Involuntary feedback responses reflect a representation of partner actions

    Seth R Sullivan, John H Buggeln ... Joshua GA Cashaback
    High-level partner representations tune low-level visuomotor reflexes.

    Isolation of small extracellular vesicles from small volumes of blood plasma using size exclusion chromatography and density gradient ultracentrifugation

    Fang Kong, Megha Upadya ... Ming Dao
    The optimized protocol for isolating small extracellular vesicles from small blood volumes, confirmed by independent methods including cryo-electron microscopy, ensures superior purity and high yield for reliable biomarker detection.

    Lipopolysaccharide stimulates dynamic changes in B cell metabolism to promote proliferation

    Dana MS Cheung, Momchil Razsolkov ... J Simon C Arthur
    B cell activation and antibody class switching requires coordinated metabolic rewiring, with essential roles for amino acid transport, cholesterol metabolism, and prenylation in driving proliferation across multiple activating stimuli.

    The nucleus accumbens shell regulates hedonic feeding via a rostral hotspot

    Alina-Măriuca Marinescu, Eshita Kamal ... Marie A Labouesse
    Within the nucleus accumbens shell, a spatially defined rostral subregion selectively modulates hedonic feeding, revealing functional heterogeneity in reward circuitry underlying food consumption.
