The paper identifies a KCR1 variant, C29D, that maintains stable potassium selectivity and provides reliable optogenetic inhibition across species and conditions.

This study develops a K+-selective channelrhodopsin for transcranial optogenetic inhibition of neuronal activity, showing reduced seizure activity in mouse models.

The paper shows that calcium-triggered apoplastic ROS bursts balance gravity and mechanical signals to regulate root bending during soil navigation.

The paper investigates six membrane transporters in Plasmodium falciparum, finding four essential for asexual development and one essential for gametocytogenesis.
