The budding yeast gained a novel regulator of TORC1 signaling, called Ait1, 150–200 million years ago, around the same time they lost functional Rheb and Tsc1/2.
The H+ influx coupled to nutrient uptake and the plasma membrane H+-ATPase are central actors of the activation of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae..
A spatially-tuned normalization model accounts for neuronal responses to attended or unattended stimuli that are presented inside the classical receptive field or the surround, and explains various other observations.

The high-resolution structure of Rea1, an essential ribosome maturation factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, explains how the ATPase domain is regulated and reveals the linker domain, the mechanical element carrying out ribosome remodeling.
DECR1, a rate-limiting enzyme for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) β-oxidation, is an androgen-repressed gene in prostate cancer cells that limits oxidative stress to promote cancer cell survival.
Animals can, and robots should, use different types of appendages together to propel and perturb themselves to self-right when overturned, a strenuous yet crucial locomotor task.

Multivariate analyses of human electrophysiological recordings revealed that the brain represents unexpected visual stimuli with greater fidelity than expected stimuli which arose independently of simple habituation arising from repetition.
TOR kinase guides the transition of plant stem cells from the dormant embryonic state to the active adult state by integrating light and metabolic signals.
Integrated live cell imaging and image analyses in the framework of transition path theories identify epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition proceeds through parallel paths.

Inhibitory synaptic plasticity provides a flexible and biologically plausible circuit mechanism to detect the novelty of bottom-up stimuli and to generate stimulus-specific adaptation.
