A detailed study of the orphan receptor Nurr1, a regulator implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, reveals a new way for ligands to control their transcriptional activity.
In songbirds, deafening leads to changes in gene expression which have now been mapped at the single-cell level across the neural circuit involved in song production.
In this episode, we hear about ways to combat online misinformation, what fish reveal about fighting infections, the eating habits of bats, plumage patterns in birds, and how spiders came by their venoms.
Elucidating the role of one of the proteins produced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum reveals a new molecule that allows this gut bacterium to support the development of fruit fly larvae.
