    Visual routines for detecting causal interactions are tuned to motion direction

    Sven Ohl, Martin Rolfs
    Visual adaptation in humans revealed that the perception of causality was tuned to the direction of motion while the adaptation transferred across different motion speeds and colors.

    A-to-I RNA editing of CYP18A1 mediates transgenerational wing dimorphism in aphids

    Bin Zhu, Rui Wei ... Pei Liang
    Binding of miR-3036-5p to CYP18A1 can be prevented by an A-to-I RNA editing, thus elevating CYP18A1 expression, decreasing 20E titer, and finally regulating the wing dimorphism of offspring in aphid.

    Neuroprotective role of Hippo signaling by microtubule stability control in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Hanee Lee, Junsu Kang ... Junho Lee
    The Hippo pathway maintains the integrity of differentiated neurons by modulating microtubule stability, and reducing microtubule stability of fully developed neurons offers a potential strategy to delay neuronal aging.

    Simultaneous cyclin D1 overexpression and p27kip1 knockdown enable robust Müller glia cell cycle reactivation in uninjured mouse retina

    Zhifei Wu, Baoshan Liao ... Wenjun Xiong
    A novel strategy is described for stimulating a large number of Müller glia to proliferate in mice by manipulating cell cycle components without a damage stimulus.

    Synaptic deregulation of cholinergic projection neurons causes olfactory dysfunction across five fly Parkinsonism models

    Ulrike Pech, Jasper Janssens ... Patrik Verstreken
    A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for cholinergic modulation in dopaminergic neuron health.

    Control of pili synthesis and putrescine homeostasis in Escherichia coli

    Iti Mehta, Jacob B Hogins ... Larry Reitzer
    Putrescine has a homeostatic network that controls pili synthesis and energy metabolism.

    Pyrotinib after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (PERSIST): A multicenter phase II trial

    Feilin Cao, Zhaosheng Ma ... Shifen Huang
    Kaplan–Meier curves showed that extended adjuvant pyrotinib administered after trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy provides a promising survival benefit in patients with high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer.

    Serotonin modulates infraslow oscillation in the dentate gyrus during non-REM sleep

    Gergely F Turi, Sasa Teng ... Yueqing Peng
    Rhythmic release of serotonin organizes infraslow oscillatory activity of the dentate gyrus during sleep.

    A direct experimental test of Ohno’s hypothesis

    Ljiljana Mihajlovic, Bharat Ravi Iyengar ... Yolanda Schaerli
    Experimental evolution of a duplicated gene increases mutational robustness relative to a single-copy gene but does not accelerate phenotypic evolution.

    Rab10 regulates neuropeptide release by maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis and protein synthesis

    Jian Dong, Mian Chen ... Matthijs Verhage
    Rab10 deficiency unexpectedly inhibits neuropeptide secretion through two distinct effects on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), disrupting ER-regulated intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics and impairing protein synthesis.
