Extensive genetic diversity and novel genome structures in RNA viruses from arthropods shed important new light on the ancestry and evolutionary history of major classes of vertebrate and plant viruses.

The traditional herbal medicine Gastrodia elata Blume, in the water-extracted form as food supplement, improves locomotion and protects dopaminergic neurons in Lrrk2-G2019S Parkinson’s disease models through Nrf2 activation in glia.

The gustatory receptor PxylGr34 is tuned to the steroid plant hormone brassinolide and mediates the deterrent effects of brassinolide on feeding and ovipositing behaviors in Plutella xylostella.

Developmental cell death plays a key role during insect neurogenesis and is increased in specific neuronal populations in flies that have evolved flightlessness.

Some nuclear export signals (NESs) bind to the transport receptor CRM1 in the opposite orientation to those previously studied.

Shearing in fluid flow induces or enhances budding dispersal in microbial populations, resulting in stronger cooperative behavior.

A Bayesian model of phase angles illustrates a novel approach to the analysis of phase coherence in frequency-tagged experiments.

Barcoded rabies virus tracing combined with single-cell RNAseq and in situ sequencing achieves high-throughput retrograde projection mapping and synaptic connectivity mapping at cellular resolution.

During parallel fibre activity in vivo, postsynaptic mGluR1 receptors in molecular layer interneurons of the cerebellar cortex are engaged in a frequency-dependent manner and in concert with inotropic glutamate receptors.

Aquatic animals cocultured with rice in paddy ecosystems can increase food production, improve nitrogen (N)-use efficiency, and maintain soil fertility by reducing weeds, and promoting recycle and complementary use of N.
