    First evidence for the evolution of host manipulation by tumors during the long-term vertical transmission of tumor cells in Hydra oligactis

    Justine Boutry, Océane Rieu ... Fréderic Thomas
    Transmissible tumors in Hydra can manipulate host phenotype by inducing the growth of supernumerary tentacles, enhancing host foraging efficiency and promoting tumor vertical transmission, akin to manipulative parasites.

    SIV-specific neutralizing antibody induction following selection of a PI3K drive-attenuated nef variant

    Hiroyuki Yamamoto, Tetsuro Matano
    Attenuation of viral Nef-driven PI3 kinase signaling in B cells precedes the induction of neutralizing antibody responses against a difficult-to-neutralize simian immunodeficiency virus.

    The Kv2.2 channel mediates the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells

    Chengfang Pan, Ying Liu ... Changlong Hu
    Prostaglandin E2 inhibits Kv2.2 channels via the EP2/4-PKA signaling pathway, leading to decreased glucose-stimulated action potential firing and insulin secretion in normal pancreatic β-cells.

    Reevaluating the neural noise in dyslexia using biomarkers from electroencephalography and high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopy

    Agnieszka Glica, Katarzyna Wasilewska ... Katarzyna Jednoróg
    Findings challenge the neural noise hypothesis of dyslexia, showing no differences in excitatory/inhibitory balance between individuals with dyslexia and controls.
