This study identifies cellular and genetic changes in maize and teosinte ears, showing how cytokinin signaling and transcription factor expression differences drive cob thickening and increased kernel number during domestication.

This study shows EHD1 promotes inflammation and stabilizes sortilin in macrophages, accelerating atherosclerosis through enhanced TNFR2-NF-kB signaling and endocytic recycling.

This paper uses a zebrafish model to identify genetic modifiers of thrombosis, finding a novel mutation in prothrombin and additional modifiers like factor X and plasminogen.

The paper shows that miR-290-295 cluster is selectively expressed in adult dopamine neurons, protecting them by preserving protein synthesis and preventing locomotor deficits.

This study shows that high-fat diet induces purinergic signaling in the hypothalamus, leading to obesity and insulin resistance, and that targeting P2Y12 can reverse these effects.

This study shows that HDAC3 restricts long-term memory and synaptic plasticity in aging hippocampus by repressing Per1, a circadian gene, without affecting circadian rhythms.
