A genome-wide association study identifies 291 candidate genes for diapause and implicates olfactory pathway genes and cells in the regulation of this adaptive dormancy program in Drosophila.
Reaction-diffusion network modeling unveils general design principles that both stabilize cell polarization patterns and enable tunable interface localization, reconciling extensive experimental observations and deepening the understanding of asymmetric cell division.
Gliding multicellular cyanobacteria results from cellular coordination, the loss of which results in the collapse of orderly back-and-forth movement of filaments and in filament buckling.

Cochlear neural degeneration in middle-aged adults with normal-hearing thresholds is associated with increased listening effort and behavioral deficits in challenging acoustic environments.
Engraved features found within the Dinaledi Subsystem are interpreted as being made by Homo naledi in the absence of evidence of other candidate makers.

Deletion of the neurodevelopmental disorder gene Cntnap2 increases repetitive behaviors in mice and enhances the excitability of striatal direct pathway neurons through decreased potassium channel function.
