This study shows that a defined microbial community remodels host metabolism and pathogen resistance in C. elegans by altering transcriptional pathways and physiological traits.

This study identifies a gut microbiota-muscle axis in C. elegans that protects against age-related motor decline by regulating mitochondrial fission through DRP-1.

This study identifies a signaling cascade involving FGF8, MafB, and cadherin-22 that drives lamina formation in the auditory hindbrain of birds.

The paper uses whole-brain mapping to show that social isolation in zebrafish causes distinct neural activity changes in brain regions linked to social behavior, which can be reversed by reducing serotonin levels.
