Environmentally responsive genes evolve under strong selective constraint in Arabidopsis lyrata.

A subset of the zebrafish Nodal receptor complex is regulated by positive feedback and controls the diffusion and distribution of Nodal signals during germ layer formation.

miR-306 and miR-79 selectively eliminate JNK-activated tumors, providing a new microRNA-based strategy against cancer.

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that D-serine competes with glutamate for binding to the NMDA receptor, a finding supported by electrophysiology experiments with consequences for D-serine-focused therapeutic strategies for myriad neurological disorders.

A novel species-specific detection method could obtain pathogenic bacteria information in 4 hr with high clinical sensitivity and specificity, which guided the faster antibiotic treatment in ICU and brought some clinical benefit in a real-world scenario.

In the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the population activity of descending neurons (DNs) projecting from the brain to the motor system is predominantly correlated with locomotion with only a few DNs encoding grooming or olfactory signals in the absence of behavior.

Newly identified roles for the kinesin-1 light chain subunit KLC4 in patterning developing axon arbors, regulating microtubule dynamics and influencing behavior of larval and adult zebrafish.

Continuous space models indicate that current homing suppression drives may have difficulty eliminating wild mosquito populations, but building a successful drive may still be possible with current tools.

Sequencing of viral genomes could be useful for infection prevention and control within hospitals, but did not lead to a reduction in the rate of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections over winter 2020/2021 in a large multicentre UK study.

A comprehensive analysis of Tensin3 function in oligodendrogenesis links the fields of transcriptional control in oligodendrocyte lineage cells with morphogenetic changes and integrin signaling mediated cell survival.
