Olfactory-mediated host tracking and rapid local adaptation in a seed-feeding wasp

This study shows that a seed-feeding wasp rapidly adapts to pre-existing host differentiation through olfactory-mediated host recognition, challenging the assumption of long-term codivergence.

Conversion of a Viral Glycan Shield into a Binding Anchor via Causal-Driven Antibody Optimization

This paper develops AENCS to engineer antibodies targeting glycosylated epitopes, demonstrating ACC01's 24-fold improved neutralization against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Neurovascular Coupling in the Basolateral Amygdala Modulates Negative Emotions

This study shows that neurovascular coupling in the basolateral amygdala bidirectionally modulates stress-induced negative emotions through manipulations in freely moving mice.

53BP1 condensates function as bioreactors for NHEJ directed DNA repair and insulators to determine pathway choice

This study shows 53BP1 condensates drive NHEJ foci formation and function as bioreactors and insulators to enhance DNA repair and pathway selection.

Ca2+ Oscillation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Control Myogenic Spontaneous Vasomotion and Counteract Post-ischemic No-reflow

This study identifies Ca2+ oscillations in vascular smooth muscle cells as critical for myogenic vasomotion and shows that restoring mitochondrial-ER contacts can improve reperfusion after ischemic stroke.

The VTA-BLA-NAc circuit for sex reward inhibited by VTA GABAergic neurons under stress in male mice

The paper identifies a neural circuit in male mice where stress inhibits reward processing by targeting VTA GABAergic neurons, linking it to depressive-like behaviors.
