Three newly developed biosensors demonstrate that the C-terminal tail of α-tubulin does not freely extend from the microtubule surface as widely thought, but rather is inaccessible along most microtubules in cells.

Metabolic imaging of the Drosophila mushroom body reveals distinct profiles among Kenyon cell subtypes and detects a subtle learning-associated metabolic change.
Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development of the cone-dominant retina of 13-lined ground squirrels.
A multidisciplinary approach demonstrates that glycolysis orchestrates fungal morphogenesis and virulence by regulating the de novo biosynthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids, thereby establishing a novel metabolic paradigm.
Mir195 enables Ebf1-deficient hematopoietic progenitor cells to mature into B cells, suggesting some miRNA can substitute for transcription factors in differentiation.
Small-molecule mitochondrial transcription factor A modulators stabilize mtDNA, preventing cytosolic escape and suppressing cGAS-STING interferon signaling, while improving bioenergetics and fibrosis markers in disease models.
The IL-17–Ly6G⁺ granulocyte axis is a key driver and correlate of tuberculosis pathology and represents a potential target for improving vaccine-induced protection and therapeutic outcomes.
Even in a simple epithelial tissue that is exposed uniformly to X-ray irradiation, cells show marked differences in their transcriptional response based on their location and cell-cycle status.
