This study identifies glia as key coordinators of sickness-induced sleep behavior through an adrenergic-glutamatergic axis in Drosophila.

This study shows that tanycyte Bmal1 deletion in female mice reduces weight gain on high-fat diet by altering hypothalamic neurogenesis, specifically affecting feeding-suppressing POMC neurons.

The paper identifies RNA processing genes modulated during sleep-dependent memory in Drosophila and shows their effects on sleep and memory consolidation.

This study shows the gut microbiome enhances metabolite cycling in Drosophila, interacting with the circadian clock and diet, with high-protein diets increasing cycling and high-sugar diets suppressing it.
