Strategic avoidance of uncertainty emerges under high cognitive demands, enabling faster decisions without impairing learning.

Psilocin induces a durable neuroplastic state in human cortical neurons by enhancing BDNF signaling, neurite complexity, synaptogenesis, and synaptic network activity through 5-HT2A receptor-dependent mechanisms.

Air pollution activates macrophage-derived artemin, sensitizing TRPA1 nociceptors to drive neutrophilic asthma, revealing new therapeutic targets for refractory airway inflammation.

HIM-5 emerges as a central scaffold that coordinates SPO-11 accessory complexes to control different aspects of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks, ensuring robust crossover formation on autosomes and the X chromosome.

Independent experimental approaches demonstrate changes in TFAM binding to UVC-irradiated DNA, providing a potential mechanism for DNA damage sensing in the mitochondria.

A DNA origami nanospring introduces a force-sensing technology that enables measurement of motor protein stall forces without optical trapping, detecting force changes in kinesin KIF1A and its disease-related mutants.

Uev1A and APC/C degrade CycA to counteract oncogenic Ras, thereby protecting against cell death in polyploid Drosophila nurse cells and suppressing overgrowth in diploid germline and human colorectal tumor cells.

Activity fluctuations, or noise correlations, are robust measures of neuronal connectivity and they reveal that neural circuity controls mixing of information at a granular level across millimeter-length scales.

A novel pipeline for analyzing longitudinal two-photon microscopy data of cerebrovasculature in mice interrogates the vasculature network before and after optogenetic stimulation, revealing new insights into their coordination.

In-cell biophysical analyses identify a sequence-encoded energy storage function of innate immune adaptor proteins that allows cells to respond quickly and decisively to pathogenic signals.
