Longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging identifies coordinated white matter remodeling during cocaine self-administration in mice

Desert Hedgehog mediates stem Leydig cell differentiation through Ptch2/Gli1/Sf1 signaling axis

This study identifies the Dhh-Ptch2-Gli1-Sf1 signaling axis as critical for stem Leydig cell differentiation in Nile tilapia, showing Dhh regulates differentiation, Ptch2 acts as the receptor, Gli1 as the transcriptional effector, and Sf1 as the downstream effector.

The Human Hippocampus Is Involved in Auditory Short-Term Memory Trace Formation

This study shows the human hippocampus is involved in auditory short-term memory trace formation through pre-attention processing and top-down connections.

Medication and Developmental Stage Shape the Brain-Age Gap in ADHD

This study shows that brain-age gaps in ADHD vary with medication use and developmental stage, with abnormalities more common in unmedicated children than adolescents.

Unravelling the progression of the zebrafish primary body axis with reconstructed spatiotemporal transcriptomics

The paper introduces Palette, a method to infer spatial gene expression from bulk RNA-seq data, and constructs DreSTEP, a resource for studying gene expression and spatial interactions in zebrafish embryos.

Angptl5 restricts primitive hematopoiesis by modulating retinoic acid signaling in zebrafish

This study identifies Angptl5 as a regulator of hematopoietic homeostasis in zebrafish by modulating retinoic acid signaling, leading to myeloid hyperplasia and erythroid expansion in mutants.

Mycn regulates intestinal development through ribosomal biogenesis in a zebrafish model of Feingold syndrome 1

This study uses a zebrafish model of Feingold syndrome 1 to show that Mycn regulates intestinal development through ribosomal biogenesis and that leucine supplementation can rescue the intestinal defect.
