A genetic analysis in yeast establishes that multicellularity can arise as a side-effect (passenger phenotype) of a completely independent fitness advantage unrelated to the benefits of group formation itself.

Enterovirus D68, a cause of acute flaccid myelitis, disrupts the composition and function of the nuclear pore complex primarily through its 2A protease, which is also toxic to motor neurons.
Terminal tracheal cells in Drosophila evade innate immune activation, revealing a fundamental trade-off in which suppression of canonical immune signaling preserves Foxo-dependent plasticity and sustains respiratory function.

Presynaptic endocytic machinery is constitutively deployed to periactive zones, indicating independent assembly pathways for the exo- and endocytic machineries of nerve terminals.
In an assay focusing on active virus recruitment rather than passive binding, STED microscopy reveals early association of virions to CD151, indicating its early involvement in viral entry platforms formation.

Present-day Faroese genomes reveal ancestry, bottleneck history, and signatures of selection, and offer a foundation for understanding the genetic architecture of health and disease in this North Atlantic founder population.
