This study shows that larval protein restriction in Drosophila extends adult lifespan by reducing storage proteins, which control translation and are enriched in aromatic amino acids.

This study identifies dual acetylcholine-dopamine dynamics in the ventral shell of the nucleus accumbens that drive sequential transitions of male sexual behaviors in mice.

The paper shows that HSC-independent hematopoietic progenitors persist into adulthood, challenging the HSC-centric model of blood cell development.

The paper creates a comprehensive molecular cell atlas of the human lung using single-cell RNA sequencing, identifying 58 cell populations including 14 new types and revealing evolutionary changes in lung cell types.

This study maps clonal lineage commitment pathways of hematopoietic stem cells in vivo, revealing differences in clonal behavior under homeostasis and after hematopoietic depletion.

The paper identifies hematopoietic stem cells and related lineages in Botryllus schlosseri, suggesting their evolutionary origin in a common ancestor of tunicates and vertebrates.
