Peripheral glia regulate synaptic remodeling at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction by balancing neuron-derived signals and controlling ambient glutamate levels, thereby revealing distinct glial mechanisms in activity-dependent synaptic plasticity.

Cell-line experiments and in vivo functional experiments provide the evidence that CT-type peptides can act as ligands for both CTR/CLR-type and PDF-type receptors in a deuterostome.

Cholecystokinin gates age-dependent auditory thalamocortical plasticity and, upon supplementation, reverses age-related plasticity decline and improves frequency discrimination.

Patch-seq RNA profiling defines the overall RNA editing landscape and single neuron editing rules for individual genetically defined Drosophila larval motoneurons.

Fireflies that gather in swarms synchronize their flashing with rhythmic periodicity and provide insights into a new mechanism for the emergence of synchrony and periodicity.

The path of potassium through an ATP-dependent membrane pump is elucidated with a high-resolution structure within a lipid bilayer together with mutational analysis at key points along this pathway.

The development of new small molecules demonstrates how pharmacologic inhibition of the coronavirus macrodomain restores innate immunity, leading to reduced viral replication and improved outcomes in severe infection.

A temporal and positional atlas of mouse primordial germ cell (PGC) migration reveals dynamic gene expression and somatic cell interactions that suggest how changing migratory niches regulate PGC development.

A key finding is that MCAK binds to the proximal region of GTP cap where GDP‧Pi-tubulins accumulate, in addition to curved protofilaments at the distalmost tip.

Life-cycle- and development-related patterns of gene expression are conserved in diverse brown algae.
