Experiments and mathematical modelling show cell fate in Dictyostelium discoideum partly depends on cell-cycle phase, but also on stochastic gene-expression variability which enhances robustness of developmental responses to cell-cycle perturbation.

A screen using in vitro-selected synthetic nanobodies identified inhibitors of SMC protein function in bacterial cells, revealing a coiled coil region as a vital component of the chromosome-folding machinery.

Neuropeptides sNPF and RYamide promote blood feeding in Anopheles stephensi, a major malarial vector in the Indian subcontinent and West Africa.

Functional and mechanistic analyses reveal that intranasal decoys engage phagocytic clearance beyond viral neutralization to provide effective protection, establishing immune redirection for developing broad-spectrum countermeasures against airborne viral threats.

The yeast Drosha homolog Rnt1 has a major role in mRNA degradation.

An evolution-guided framework is proposed to accelerate the discovery and therapeutic targeting of understudied dark channels by integrating sequence, structure, and functional data from diverse organisms.

In low-latitude North China, riparian ecosystems began to recover 2–3 million years after the end-Permian mass extinction.

A semi-automated system for monitoring egg-laying reveals that lateral dorsal neurons are key regulators of circadian oviposition, showing that the neural circuits controlling oviposition and circadian locomotor behavior are different.

Replication origins in Trypanosoma brucei integrate multiple features previously described individually in opisthokonts, revealing a unified structural topology built from strand-specific nucleotide composition, G‑quadruplex enrichment, and distinctive nucleosome patterns.

Addictive drugs, as well as ketamine/xylazine, change the connectivity to ventral tegmental area dopamine cells, which may be related to cellular activity.
