By providing new ways to map cortico-subcortical connectivity patterns, the proposed cross-species tractography approaches directly allow novel comparative studies between the human and macaque brain and enable subsequent explorations of brain-behaviour/disease symptom associations across individuals.

The enteric bacterial Shigella secretes a virulence factor that degrades the pivotal human defense protein RNF213, thereby protecting cytosolic bacteria from interferon-driven ubiquitylation and associated innate immunity.
Restitution of RAP2A, human homolog of Drosophila asymmetric cell division regulator Rap2l, in glioblastoma neurosphere cultures targets the stemness of glioblastoma stem cells and could contribute to reduce glioblastoma expansion.

Novel function of Prosapip1, a scaffolding protein highly expressed in the hippocampus, in maintaining postsynaptic density integrity and plays a vital role in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.
A comparative analysis of genome-wide seasonal gene expression dynamics across four forest tree species revealed that a shared 'molecular calendar' emerges in winter, constraining gene expression evolution and potentially limiting temporal niche partitioning and species divergence in seasonal environments.
