Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural and behavioral outcomes are mediated by degenerins and do not affect presynaptic calcium dynamics.

Phytoplasma effector SAP54 hijacks previously unknown MADS-box protein roles in plant-insect interactions by modulating plant biotic stress responses to male leafhoppers and facilitating female attraction and reproduction on male-exposed leaves.

Developmental specialization of vomeronasal sensory neurons involves selective upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum genes in a subset of neurons along with a hypertrophic gyroid membrane architecture.

A transcriptomic atlas of the mouse vomeronasal organ reveals novel receptor co-expression patterns and provides a framework for understanding sensory neuron lineage and receptor specification.

A combination of genetic and biochemical approaches suggest that yeast Rev7 promotes DNA double-strand break repair via NHEJ and inhibits homologous recombination by blocking Mre11 nuclease and Rad50’s ATPase activities.

While monitoring neuronal activity in freely moving Drosophila is challenging, HI-FISH enables brain-wide mapping of active neurons and reveals behavior-specific neural activity.
