An analysis of the first complete synaptic resolution connectome of Drosophila's navigation circuit uncovers neural network motifs supporting broadly relevant sensorimotor computations.

Cells adapt to extracellular hypertonicities using regulatory volume increase (RVI), and TNFR1-mediated NFkB activation is indispensable for RVI, but the increased cytoplasmic macromolecular crowding can inhibit TNFR1 signaling and prevent RVI at severe hypertonicities.

A single-cell RNA-seq study examining gene expression profiles in neurons that underlie Drosophila reproductive behaviors shows males and females build sex-specific behaviors at the molecular-genetic level by overlaying sex-specific information on core gene expression networks.

Single-cell tracking and cell-fate simulation suggest that low levels of p53 suppress aneuploid cell formation in unstressed cells and also reveal the dual fate of cells lacking p53 in the presence of p53-proficient cells.

Tracking proteins in live cells is challenging due to technical limitations and biological complexity, but approaches based in Bayesian nonparametrics stand a decent chance at recovering a target protein's dynamic profile from noisy data.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader Pho92 is directed by Paf1C to meiotic mRNAs in an m6A-dependent and independent manner and promotes CCR4-NOT-mediated mRNA decay of m6A modified transcripts contingent on translation.
