A combination of viral strategies, electrophysiological methods, and behavioral tests reveals how GPR30 in spinal CCK+ neurons modulates neuropathic pain.
Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across brain regions.

The T-shaped fold of an abundant surface protein ties streptococci to collagens, an interaction that enhances biofilm such as often found in invasive infections.
Neural and computational evidence reveals that real-world size is a temporally late, semantically grounded, and hierarchically stable dimension of object representation in both human brains and artificial neural networks.
Up-to-date computational pipeline characterizes G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) repertoires in the closest relatives of metazoans, providing a framework to investigate the evolutionary origins and ancestral functions of key metazoan signaling pathways.
Deletion of specific herpes simplex virus proteins prevents the progression of virus assembly at discrete stages, allowing detailed 3D imaging of rare events in the morphogenesis of virus particles.

Directed evolution was used to engineer a green fluorescent biosensor for quantitative calcium imaging that remains fluorescent, yet shows a large change in lifetime in cells.
Testosterone promotes the conversion of glucose to fatty acids by increasing the expression of ACLY in seminal vesicle epithelial cells, thereby regulating the seminal plasma components.
