Cadherin-6 (Cdh6) marks gut-intrinsic sensory neurons, and optogenetic activation of Cdh6+ sensory neurons is sufficient to evoke colonic motor complexes.
Single-cell imaging and mass spectrometry data reveal adenosine in the DNA of mammalian cells can be methylated by METTL3 to form N6-methyladenosine in response to DNA damage.
CXXC1 is a pivotal epigenetic regulator that ensures Treg homeostasis and suppressive function by interacting with FOXP3 to modulate H3K4me3 deposition at key signature genes.
The rhizobial effector NopT and two Nod factor receptors of Lotus japonicus, NFR1 and NFR5, mutually interact to precisely regulate rhizobial symbiosis.

Action potentials of neurons expel a charge when they reach the axon terminal, and classical electrodynamics predict the resulting electric fields and its influence to other neurons by ephaptic coupling.
