The genome of a tiny tomato pest reveals mechanisms that underlie metazoan genome reduction.

The neuromodulator substance P enhances mechanisms of recurrent excitation between breaths to control breathing frequency and stability.

Conditional abolishment of a G protein subunit in a subset of ectopic tuft cells engenders severer injury, slower recovery, and increased fatality following the infection of the influenza viruses.

Anoctamin/TMEM16 and SLC12 co-transporter genes selectively function in regulating cold nociception via excitatory chloride currents and can promote neuropathic sensitization phenotypes, including behavioral sensitization and neuronal hyperexcitability in Drosophila multimodal sensory neurons.

The analysis of 20 coral genomic datasets provides unprecedented insights into what makes reef-building corals unique, including the evolution of novel gene families involved in biomineralization, signaling and stress responses that have led to their evolutionary success throughout the Phanerozoic Eon.

Genetic, behavioral, and biochemical evidence reveals that the Drosophila TRPγ channel is required in neuroendocrine cells for the starvation-induced switch in preference to less palatable but more nutritive food.

Electrophysiological and live-cell imaging analyses identify a presynaptic function of Ca²⁺ influx via transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channels.
