    Coordinated spinal locomotor network dynamics emerge from cell-type-specific connectivity patterns

    F David Wandler, Benjamin K Lemberger ... James M Murray
    A hierarchy of models guided by experimental results from zebrafish shows that coordinated, variable-speed locomotion can emerge from network-level interactions among interneuron populations with structured spatial connectivity.

    JAK-STAT pathway activation compromises nephrocyte function in a Drosophila high-fat diet model of chronic kidney disease

    Yunpo Zhao, Jianli Duan ... Zhe Han
    A conserved signaling axis linking Drosophila adipose tissue to nephrocyte function reveals how obesity can drive kidney dysfunction and points to new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

    Epidermal resident memory T cell fitness requires antigen encounter in the skin

    Eric S Weiss, Toshiro Hirai ... Daniel H Kaplan
    Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal TRM fitness.

    Dual-modal metabolic analysis reveals hypothermia-reversible uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal brain hypoxia-ischemia

    Naidi Sun, Yu-Yo Sun ... Song Hu
    Post‑HI oxidative‑phosphorylation uncoupling drives secondary energy failure in neonatal brains, and preventing the post‑HI CMRO2 surge is a key mechanism underlying hypothermia’s neuroprotection.

    Biophysical basis for brain folding and misfolding patterns in ferrets and humans

    Gary PT Choi, Chunzi Liu ... L Mahadevan
    Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain morphogenesis.

    Sex differences in bile acid homeostasis and excretion underlie the disparity in liver cancer incidence between males and females

    Megan E Patton, Sherwin Kelekar ... Sayeepriyadarshini Anakk
    Transcriptomic and metabolite analysis reveal sex differences in circulation and excretion of bile acids in a mouse- model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the identified female-specific gene profile correlates with better HCC survival.

    Therapeutic benefits of maintaining CDK4/6 inhibitors and incorporating CDK2 inhibitors beyond progression in breast cancer

    Jessica Armand, Sungsoo Kim ... Hee Won Yang
    Maintaining CDK4/6 inhibition constrains drug‑resistant breast tumors by delaying cell‑cycle entry, and adding CDK2 inhibition further deepens control to guide post‑progression therapy.

    Morphogenesis and morphometry of brain folding patterns across species

    Sifan Yin, Chunzi Liu ... L Mahadevan
    The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

    ANKEF1 is a key axonemal component essential for murine sperm motility and male fertility

    Shuntai Yu, Guoliang Yin ... Fengchao Wang
    ANKEF1 stabilizes the sperm axoneme by reinforcing the nexin–dynein regulatory complex, revealing a mechanical buffering mechanism essential for flagellar integrity and male fertility.
