To jump or not to jump: Comparing effects of phenotypic plasticity on the visual responses and escape behavior of locusts and grasshoppers

This study compares phenotypic plasticity effects on jump escape behavior and LGMD neuron properties in locusts and grasshoppers, finding behavioral differences but not physiological or transcriptomic ones.

Shaker it OFF: Biophysical Characterization of an Inactivating Potassium Conductance Mediating Object Segmentation in a Collision-Detecting Neuron

The paper characterizes a Shaker potassium channel in a grasshopper neuron involved in visual object segmentation through electrophysiology and computational modeling.

Single-cell Total-RNA Profiling Unveils Regulatory Hubs of Transcription Factors

The paper introduces snapTotal-seq, a single-cell RNA-seq method that measures both nascent and mature RNA, and identifies regulatory hubs in cell cycle and senescence using LASSO regression.

Characterization of Cancer Evolution Landscape Based on Accurate Detection of Somatic Mutations in Single Tumor Cells

This study develops scNanoSeq to detect somatic mutations in single tumor cells, revealing subtype-specific evolutionary patterns and a reprogramming and critical mutation co-timing model in breast cancer.
