The paper reports cryo-EM structures of insect IR complexes to understand their evolutionary adaptation from glutamate receptors for environmental sensing.

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of GerA, revealing how nutrient binding triggers channel opening through allosteric switches and subunit interactions.

This study investigates the assembly and conformational dynamics of insect odorant receptor complexes using high-speed atomic force microscopy and cryo-EM, revealing non-tetrameric oligomeric states and symmetry-broken configurations.

This paper decodes the structural logic of pheromone recognition in silkmoths to design small molecules that disrupt insect mating behavior.

This study determines the structural basis of odorant recognition in insect olfactory receptors using cryo-EM and functional analysis.

The paper shows that gut microbes influence sympathetic neurons through a metabolite-mediated gut-brain circuit, with butyrate suppressing sympathetic activity.
