The role of miR-9a in modulating sensory neuron morphology and mating behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

This study identifies miR-9a as a regulator of sensory neuron morphology and mating behavior in Drosophila, showing its role in non-cell autonomous and cell-intrinsic mechanisms.

Synergetic hallmark knockouts immortalize bovine muscle stem cells for cellular agriculture

This study knocks out PTEN, TP53, and SMAD4 in bovine satellite cells to create an immortalized cell line that proliferates and differentiates into myotubes, supporting cellular agriculture applications.

The structural organisation of pentraxin-3 and its interactions with heavy chains of inter-alpha-inhibitor regulate crosslinking of the hyaluronan matrix

This paper investigates how PTX3's quaternary structure enables HA crosslinking via interactions with HC1, revealing pH-dependent binding and structural flexibility.

Molecular and Neural Circuit Mechanisms Underlying Sexual Experience-dependent Long-Term Memory in Drosophila.

This study identifies YL neurons and their molecular pathways as essential for sexual experience-dependent long-term memory in Drosophila.

Hypersensitivity controlled by mir-9a modulates female receptivity of Drosophila melanogaster.

This study shows that miR-9a regulates sensory hypersensitivity and female receptivity in Drosophila by modulating target genes involved in neuronal development.
