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.

Acetylcholine, released from cholinergic fibers originating from the medial septum, shapes social memory, and controls the CA2 hippocampal circuit via nicotinic receptors localized on GABAergic interneurons.

BoNT intoxication of neurons is revisited using a genome-wide siRNA screen and organelle-specific reporters, suggesting a mechanism of translocation to the cytosol fundamentally different than previously proposed.

Relative hydraulic resistance, shear rate, and pressure in a vascular network integrate the network's architecture via fluid flow, and determine vein dynamics, with a time delay, in the prototypical organism Physarum polycephalum.

Spatial genomics reveals the mode of evolution of a tumour based on the positions of mutations in high-resolution samples.

A small population of lateral hypothalamic neurons detects pain and can be activated to suppress pain-related behavioral adaptations and the unpleasantness associated with pain in mice.

Drosophila model reveals that NTE/SWS-associated neurodegeneration is a lysosomal storage disorder accompanied by a leaky brain permeability barrier, abnormal fatty acid metabolism, and inflammation.

HGF derived from fibroblasts is critical for complete muscularization of the mammalian diaphragm, and loss-of-function experiments reveal that partial muscularization of the diaphragm is not sufficient to cause congenital diaphragmatic hernias.

In glioblastoma stem cells, oncogenes on extrachromosomal DNA do not cluster at distances in keeping with coordinated transcription, with amplified gene expression driven by copy number rather increased transcriptional efficiency.

Modeling adult muscle homeostasis, maintenance and repair will now be possible in Drosophila with the discovery of satellite cells equivalents in flight muscles.
