RNAseq profiles of female Aedes body parts, gut regions, and blood-fed guts provide insight into the anatomical patterning of immune and digestive function, and demonstrate the sequential induction of multiple peptidase cohorts over the course of blood meal digestion.

An open-source behavioral platform allows for operant, feeding, and circadian experiments in rodent home-cages.

Hunger-sensitive AgRP neurons must sense changes in calorie availability to transmit metabolic information into dopamine release in the NAc and dorsal striatum, albeit over different time frames, to increase motivated food reward seeking.

Predisposition to obesity-associated diseases is dependent on the ancestors' diet.

A screen of lactic acid bacteria reveals that diet modulates the age-dependent decline of thermotaxis behavior in C. elegans without changing the organismal lifespan.

miR-17~92 family of miRNAs control the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue macrophages, the absence of which leads to disturbed adipose homeostasis.

A microbiome metabolite alleviates liver steatosis and inflammation, and shows its potential as a therapeutic modality for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Lack of aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands in the diet of mice increases the inflammatory state in their epidermis, making cutaneous allergic reactions more severe and airway allergy more pronounced after skin sensitization.

Genome-wide recruitment of Mediator and Pol II is reduced in yeast lacking the Med2-Med3-Med15 tail module triad, and Mediator association with gene promoters depends on Pol II, Taf1, and TBP.

The cellular stress response pathway helps animals evaluate food quality and regulate feeding behavior to adapt in nutrient-deficient environments.
