Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and RNA sequencing have elucidated the complex transcript regulation pathways orchestrated by SntB, pivotal for Aspergillus flavus's development, mycotoxin production, and virulence.

Experiments in C. elegans reveal how synaptotagmin and Rab3, the 'yin and yang' of synapses, control whether transmitter vesicles remain docked at the presynaptic membrane or release their contents into the synapse.

The vaginal immunoproteome in pregnancy is more predictive of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) than maternal characteristics alone, with sPTB cases showing heightened pro-inflammatory profiles accompanied by reduced levels of antimicrobial proteins/peptides.

Neurexins are essential for shaping the functional properties of glycinergic synapse in the auditory brainstem, further attesting their universal role as critical presynaptic organizers in all major fast chemical synapses.

Principal neurons of the brainstem nucleus comparing sound level at the two ears do not have the slow response properties previously attributed to them, but are instead specialized for fast weighing of excitation and inhibition.

Ano1 deletion disrupts Ca²⁺ waves within Kölliker’s organ, reduces burst-firing activity and frequency selectivity of auditory brainstem neurons in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body, and impairs the functional refinement of its projections to the lateral superior olive.

Serial cell-to-cell transfer of lipoprotein toxins by outer membrane exchange provides a potent platform for kin discrimination in Myxococcus xanthus.
