    Nutritional state-dependent modulation of insulin-producing cells in Drosophila

    Rituja S Bisen, Fathima Mukthar Iqbal ... Jan M Ache
    An in vivo electrophysiology approach identifies an incretin-like effect in Drosophila insulin-producing cells, highlighting key circuit dynamics which govern glucose homeostasis via conserved mechanisms.

    Progesterone induces meiosis through two obligate co-receptors with PLA2 activity

    Nancy Nader, Lama Assaf ... Khaled Machaca
    Progesterone mediates nongenomic signaling in Xenopus oocyte meiosis by activating a PLA2 activity that requires two membrane receptors ABDH2 and mPRß.

    Tgfbr1 regulates lateral plate mesoderm and endoderm reorganization during the trunk to tail transition

    Anastasiia Lozovska, Ana Casaca ... Moises Mallo
    Tgfbr1 signaling governs all processes associated with the trunk to tail transition, including the repositioning of neuro-mesodermal progenitors, as well as the remodeling of the lateral plate mesoderm and embryonic endoderm.

    Combining radio-telemetry and radar measurements to test optimal foraging in an aerial insectivore bird

    Itai Bloch, David Troupin ... Nir Sapir
    Little Swifts dynamically adjust their foraging behavior to aerial insect abundance, revealing key insights into predator–prey interactions and optimal foraging strategies in aerial environments.

    Dynamics and regulatory roles of RNA m6A methylation in unbalanced genomes

    Shuai Zhang, Ruixue Wang ... Lin Sun
    Global analyses using aneuploid Drosophila revealed the dynamic roles of RNA m6A modification in regulating gene expression and development under genomic imbalance, highlighting its potential relationships with dosage-related effects.

    Discriminating neural ensemble patterns through dendritic computations in randomly connected feedforward networks

    Bhanu Priya Somashekar, Upinder Singh Bhalla
    In feedforward networks with random connectivity, connection motifs underlying the detection of short clusters and activity sequences are likely to converge on a subset of postsynaptic neurons purely by chance.

    Risk factors affecting polygenic score performance across diverse cohorts

    Daniel Hui, Scott Dudek ... Marylyn D Ritchie
    Numerous related sample characteristics affect polygenic score performance, and incorporation of interaction effects increases both model and polygenic score performance.

    A split-GAL4 driver line resource for Drosophila neuron types

    Geoffrey W Meissner, Allison Vannan ... FlyLight Project Team
    Thousands of cell-type-specific split-GAL4 driver lines and a massive, searchable image collection enable Drosophila neuroscientists to target neurons of interest with increased precision.

    Sensory experience controls dendritic structure and behavior by distinct pathways involving degenerins

    Sharon Inberg, Yael Iosilevskii ... Benjamin Podbilewicz
    Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural and behavioral outcomes are mediated by degenerins and do not affect presynaptic calcium dynamics.

    Projections from thalamic nucleus reuniens to hippocampal CA1 area participate in context fear extinction by affecting extinction-induced molecular remodeling of excitatory synapses

    Magdalena Ziółkowska, Narges Sotoudeh ... Kasia Radwanska
    Confocal and electron microscopy analyses reveal that contextual fear extinction induces structural remodeling of thalamic projections to the CA1 area of the hippocampus.
