TRPγ is essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis in Drosophila melanogaster, linking neuronal regulation to fat metabolism and suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for metabolic disorders.
Reserpine, previously identified through high-throughput screening in CEP290 retinal degeneration models, enhances photoreceptor survival in P23H rhodopsin retinal degeneration models, particularly in female rats, indicating its gene-agnostic and sex-specific effectiveness.
The asymmetrically segregated Notch pathway inhibitor Numb is essential for intestinal stem cell self-renewal in adult Drosophila midguts when the stem cell niche signaling is compromised.

A more complete, bidirectional relationship between fear conditioning and behavior is established when many behaviors are examined, as opposed to single behavior such as freezing.
Gene duplication in antibiotic-resistant bacteria mitigates elevated demand for expression, facilitating adaptation to antibiotics and alleviating costs of proteolytic instability of the drug target.
