KIS, a kinase upregulated in the developmental brain, phosphorylates the PTBP2 splicing complex and modulates alternative exon usage for proper synaptic spine emergence and maturation.
Sleep-encoded vocabulary influences awake decision-making 36 hr later, particularly when targeting the vocabulary to slow-wave troughs, which suggests that unconscious episodic memory formation during deep sleep is possible.

Stem cell-derived retinal organoids are a useful tool to understand the pathobiology of devastating retinal degenerations and can aid to identify and validate therapeutics to promote rescue.
Analysis of mice lacking the precursor for irisin, FNDC5, provides evidence for a sex-specific role of irisin in calcium release from bone due to osteocytic osteolysis.
The distinct transcriptomic features of extraocular muscle satellite cells, partially mimicked by NaBu treatment, endow enhanced self-renewal and axon attraction, contribute to neuromuscular junction preservation during ALS progression.

A novel mechanism underlying the regulation of osteoblast morphology, adherence, and migration that has implications in bone remodeling, regeneration, and response to the pharmacological effects of PTH treatment.
Experimental Piper gardens across five neotropical sites reveal complex contingencies in the influence of species and population-level biodiversity on the flow of resources to insect herbivores and ecosystem resilience to changes in water availability.
The mechanical stability of a nucleosome is enhanced upon the introduction of a single base pair mismatch that makes DNA more bendable, with implications on mismatch repair in vivo.
