Echolocating bats may recognize locations in the environment (and navigate to them) by remembering the specific echo signature of those locations.

Net-winged midge larvae use suction organs covered in spine-like cuticular protrusions to generate powerful attachment on wet and rough surfaces.

Insulinergic neuromodulation of hedonic food processing predicts future weight management and improves with weight loss in older overweight dieters.

A novel co-translational mechanism continuously adjusts the expression levels of ribosomal proteins Rpl3 and Rpl4 to their consumption during ribosome synthesis by regulating the abundance of their mRNAs.

Structural flexibility of the synaptobrevin-2 transmembrane domain promotes membrane fusion.

Rudimentary cross-catalytic replication can be established by double-hairpins of tRNA-like sequences, implying that replication and translation could have emerged along a common evolutionary trajectory.

The far C-terminal domain of CpxII interferes with SNARE assembly and thereby arrests tonic exocytosis.

Naturally-occurring v-SNARE TMD variants differentially regulate fusion pore dynamics and cooperate with phospholipids in supporting membrane curvature at the fusion pore neck.

Although the genetic code uses three DNA base pairs to encode one amino acid, it is surprisingly tolerant to four-base codons, which can be used to incorporate nine of the twenty amino acids without any protein engineering.

Isoform-specific transcript localization underlies the evolutionary diversity of anterior axis determinants in embryos of dipteran insects.
