    Rapid riparian ecosystem recovery in low-latitudinal North China following the end-Permian mass extinction

    Wenwei Guo, Li Tian ... Jinnan Tong
    In low-latitude North China, riparian ecosystems began to recover 2–3 million years after the end-Permian mass extinction.

    Identification and classification of ion channels across the tree of life provide functional insights into understudied CALHM channels

    Rahil Taujale, Sung Jin Park ... Natarajan Kannan
    An evolution-guided framework is proposed to accelerate the discovery and therapeutic targeting of understudied dark channels by integrating sequence, structure, and functional data from diverse organisms.

    Circadian control of a sex-specific behavior in Drosophila

    Sabrina Riva, Maria Fernanda Ceriani ... Diana Lorena Franco
    A semi-automated system for monitoring egg-laying reveals that lateral dorsal neurons are key regulators of circadian oviposition, showing that the neural circuits controlling oviposition and circadian locomotor behavior are different.

    Redirection of SARS-CoV-2 to phagocytes by intranasal sACE2-Fc as a universal decoy confers complete prophylactic protection

    Jingyi Wang, Jiangchuan Li ... Bo Feng
    Functional and mechanistic analyses reveal that intranasal decoys engage phagocytic clearance beyond viral neutralization to provide effective protection, establishing immune redirection for developing broad-spectrum countermeasures against airborne viral threats.

    Stranded short nascent strand sequencing reveals the topology of DNA replication origins in Trypanosoma brucei

    Slavica Stanojcic, Bridlin Barckmann ... Yvon Sterkers
    Replication origins in Trypanosoma brucei integrate multiple features previously described individually in opisthokonts, revealing a unified structural topology built from strand-specific nucleotide composition, G‑quadruplex enrichment, and distinctive nucleosome patterns.

    Bilateral equalization of synaptic output in olfactory glomeruli of Xenopus tadpoles

    Marta Casas, Beatrice Terni, Artur Llobet
    A novel bilateral compensatory mechanism important for the activity of olfactory glomeruli in Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles was uncovered.

    Drug-induced changes in connectivity to midbrain dopamine cells revealed by rabies monosynaptic tracing

    Katrina Bartas, Pieter Derdeyn ... Kevin T Beier
    Addictive drugs, as well as ketamine/xylazine, change the connectivity to ventral tegmental area dopamine cells, which may be related to cellular activity.

    Tumors mimic the niche to inhibit neighboring stem cell differentiation

    Yang Zhang, Yuejia Wang ... Shaowei Zhao
    Drosophila female germline tumors mutant for bam or bgcn mimic the stem cell niche to inhibit the differentiation of neighboring wild-type germline stem cells.

    Adrenomedullin restores the human cortical interneurons migration defects induced by hypoxia

    Alyssa Puno, Wojciech P Michno ... Anca M Pasca
    Exposure of human cortical interneurons to hypoxia leads to decreased migration, a process that is likely altered in preterm infants and contributes to the increased risk for neurodevelopmental problems.
