Salicylic acid, the precursor to aspirin, is an anti-tumor agent that blocks protein acetylation.

A comprehensive battery of behavioral, electrophysiological and functional MRI techniques has allowed the development of a data-driven conceptual model of the tinnitus-hyperacusis network.

After myocardial infarction, gut microbiota affects platelet aggregation rate by regulating the absorption and metabolism of ticagrelor.

A combination of mathematical modeling and live-cell imaging reveals a strategy for the rational control over cell electrophysiology though modulation of ion channel expression.

Elucidating the 1-naphthylamine degradation pathway in Pseudomonas sp. strain JS3066 and analyzing the catalytic mechanism of the 1-naphthylamine glutamine synthetase deepens the understanding of microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic amines.

Identification of Cl⁻-induced folding advances the field’s understanding of prestin’s unique voltage-sensing mechanism and its involvement in mammalian hearing sensation.

A chewing herbivore induced WRKY transcription factor induces jasmonate-dependent defences and supresses gibbererellin-dependent growth, the latter of which renders rice plants more susceptible to secondary infestation by a piercing-sucking herbivore.

Electrophysiological recordings and a large-scale biophysical model show that a unique inhibitory neuron plays a central role in structuring olfactory codes in the insect brain.

The connection from layer Vb-to-Va neurons, a key component of the canonical hippocampal-cortical output circuit, which is allegedly crucial for memory consolidation, is relatively stronger in lateral entorhinal cortex compared with the medial entorhinal cortex, thus suggesting different operating principles.

Serial-section electron microscopy uncovers the intricate neural network of the bumblebee central complex, revealing highly conserved projection patterns as well as novel circuit elements potentially unique to bees.
