In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies reveal that hepatocytes are significantly infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which rewires the host cell metabolism to upregulate the lipid biosynthetic pathways.
Quantitative Drosophila pupal wing experiments support planar polarity depending on cell-scale signalling that does not involve depletion of a limited pool of core proteins or polarised transport on microtubules.

Children show less robust memory retention overnight and after 2 weeks, with memories transforming more rapidly from detailed to gist-like neural representations, revealing less stable consolidation mechanisms than in adults.

Amino acids that were abundant since the prebiotic era are enriched in protein binding sites of the most ancient coenzymes, supporting the plausibility of an early coenzyme–peptide world.
Reducing vaccine development time from 12 months to 6 reduces forecasting error by 25%, while reducing lags in genome sequence submission reduces uncertainty of current clade frequencies by 50%.
Songbird HVC sequences arise from a balance of ionic currents and structured inhibition, providing a mechanistic framework for understanding cortical sequence generation.
Hydration modulates aromatic interactions, explaining why Tyr is a stronger sticker than Phe in aqueous environments like protein condensates but not in the cores of folded proteins.
