The paper shows that external focus suppresses internal thoughts, creating an amnesic shadow that inhibits both novel and existing memories.

This study identifies an mTORC1-PWP1-Hedgehog circuit that links nutrient metabolism to intestinal stem cell differentiation in Drosophila, showing its role in aging and tissue renewal.

The paper analyzes fMRI data to show that temporal specificity in recall is preserved despite reorganization of feature representations across the cortex during recall of a narrative episode.

The paper models multispecies transport through gasdermin pores to explain how pore formation leads to cell swelling and osmotic changes.

This study examines mating behavior, mate choice, and reproductive outcomes in Tyrophagus curvipenis, finding that mating frequency affects fecundity but not pre-oviposition period.

The paper identifies native T-DNA transfer systems in rhizobia that deliver cargo genes into legume nodules, showing they share similarities with Agrobacteria-mediated transformation but have distinct regulatory mechanisms.

This study investigates the role of the fruitless P3 transcript in Drosophila development, finding it essential for pupal development and metamorphosis, with distinct effects compared to complete fruitless loss.

The paper assesses chemical pollution and ecotoxicological risks in Caribbean coastal bays and coral reefs using chemical analysis and bioassays, finding that bays act as pollution sources while reefs show mixture toxicity.

The paper investigates how electrostatic interactions control conformational changes and proton translocation in Complex I using a combination of experimental and computational methods.

The paper identifies ST18 as a regulator of deep CA3 pyramidal neuron identity, showing its role in restricting a superficial-like program and shaping circuit integration through molecular and electrophysiological changes.

This study investigates how the multiple-demand network maintains working memory during task interruptions, finding that neural representations of category information remain stable despite behavioral costs.

This study investigates the role of anionic lipids in etioplast-to-chloroplast differentiation, finding that phosphatidylglycerol is crucial for membrane processes while sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol supports chloroplast development under PG limitation.

The paper examines monoaminergic changes and their association with impaired neurogenesis in the hippocampus across aging and Parkinson disease dementia.

This study identifies how LRRC58 senses cysteine through structural changes that regulate CDO1 binding and cysteine homeostasis.

The paper introduces a framework to analyze pan-cancer co-expression programs by addressing artifacts in existing methods, showing that gene expression patterns differ between cancer types.

This paper uses photographs of mice to predict biological age and finds that older appearance correlates with frailty and shorter survival.

This study presents cryo-EM structures of RtcB2 bound to damaged E. coli 30S subunits, revealing how the enzyme recognizes and repairs ribosomal RNA.

The paper introduces AtomLM-9b, a language model using an all-atom structure tokenizer to predict protein structures with performance comparable to AlphaFold 3.

This study shows arginine activates a conserved sphingolipid pathway in insects, promoting antibacterial effects through ceramide accumulation, independent of classical immune responses.

This study shows that taxane-stabilized microtubules can adopt 15-protofilament structures, which DCX can bind through conformational remodeling, contrasting with the rigid GMPCPP-stabilized lattice.
