Chloroplast Genome Evolution, Heteroplasmy, and Inverted Repeat Dynamics in the Elymus Complex (Triticeae, Poaceae): Insights from Single-Molecule Sequencing of Elymus ciliaris and Comparative Analysis of St-Genome Lineages

The paper uses single-molecule sequencing to analyze chloroplast genome heteroplasmy and structural dynamics in Elymus species, revealing inversion polymorphisms and lineage-specific IR boundary shifts.

Extracellular NAD(P) activates systemic acquired resistance through LecRK-VI.2-mediated phosphorylation of NPR1

This study identifies how extracellular NAD(P) activates systemic acquired resistance by phosphorylating NPR1 via LecRK-VI.2, linking immune signal perception to transcriptional activation.

Gut Microbial Metabolic Disorder in Depression: Insights from Computational Modeling and Mediation Analysis

This study identifies differential gut microbiota species and metabolic fluxes associated with depression using computational modeling and mediation analysis.

Hearing loss promotes schizophrenia-relevant brain and behavioral abnormalities in a mouse model of human 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

This study shows that hearing loss in a mouse model of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome affects schizophrenia-relevant brain and behavioral abnormalities, including auditory gain and PV+ interneuron density in the auditory cortex.

Unconsciously Implanted Visuoauditory Memory in the Presence of Cholecystokinin Retrieved in Behavioral Contexts

This study shows that visuoauditory associations can be artificially implanted in rodents and retrieved in behavioral contexts, with cholecystokinin (CCK) playing a critical role in this process.

Cholecystokinin release triggered by presynaptic NMDA receptors produces LTP and sound-sound associative memory formation

Presynaptic NMDA receptors control CCK release from entorhinal neurons, enabling neocortical LTP and sound-sound associative memory.
