Mucus cell and ionocyte precursors migrate between epithelial cells to disperse through the zebrafish epidermis

The paper shows that mucus cell and ionocyte precursors migrate between epithelial layers in zebrafish epidermis to achieve their scattered distribution.

Mitochondrial coenzyme Q redox balance restrains dopaminergic neuron activity to promote early-life sleep in Drosophila

This study identifies coenzyme Q redox balance as a regulator of dopaminergic neuron activity and juvenile sleep in Drosophila by linking mitochondrial complex I function to sleep fragmentation and depth.

Cross-species evidence for a developmental origin of adult hypersomnia with loss of synaptic adhesion molecules beat-Ia/CADM2

The paper identifies beat-Ia/CADM2 as a gene involved in hypersomnia by showing its role in sleep regulation across species and demonstrates potential therapeutic targets.

A switch in arousal circuit architecture shapes sleep across the lifespan

The paper identifies distinct octopaminergic neuron populations in Drosophila that drive arousal in larvae and adults, revealing a developmental switch in sleep-wake circuit architecture.
