In vivo imaging reveals that the synaptic vesicle cycle is a significant contributor to oxidative stress in sensory hair cells, rendering them susceptible to insults.
Outgroup conflict can negatively impact general reproductive behaviour, egg investment, and parental care, resulting in decreased reproductive output even in the absence of physical confrontations.
Comprehensive analyses of host genetics, root-associated microbiomes, and plant phenotypes under two nitrogen treatments reveals host genetic control of microbe abundance which, in turn, affects plant performance.

A new model describes evolutionary transitions in individuality in terms of tradeoff and tradeoff-breaking events as opposed to changes in the nature of fitness.
Organoids developed from matched human placental tissue define differences in antiviral signaling between cell types comprising the maternal-fetal interface.

There is a frequency-dependent association between the local field potential and the coordinated activity of populations of single neurons, which remains constant during different aspects of behaviour but changes across regions of primate sensorimotor cortex.
Task controllability manipulations reveal that information seeking is associated with reduced confidence and active hypothesis testing, as well as stronger neurophysiological correlates of attention and arousal.
Electrophysiological recordings in awake behaving monkeys show the first evidence of the effect of continuous theta-burst stimulation, a widely used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol, at the level of single neurons.

Plasmodium falciparum aminopeptidase PfA-M17 is essential to parasite survival and plays a role in hemoglobin digestion, providing a rationale for further development of inhibitors against this enzyme.
