Fingertip tactile neurons collectively encode the skin's viscoelastic state alongside current touch, potentially enabling the brain to better interpret forces during manipulation.
Separating alpha oscillations from broadband activity reveals that alpha suppression in the human visual cortex is highly localized, and modulates cortical state in a manner consistent with exogenous spatial attention.
BCAS2 directly binds to the Armadillo repeats 9–12 of β-catenin via the coiled-coil domains, sequestering β-catenin within the nucleus and thereby promoting Wnt signaling during primitive hematopoiesis.
Functional neural circuit dissection identifies sensorimotor responses to noxious cold in Drosophila larvae revealing complex mechanisms by which nervous systems sense and respond to cold.

Parallel connectome trajectories unfold asynchronously across timescales, sustaining a multiplex of functionally distinct brain networks operating at different speeds.
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester treats Clostridioides difficile infection by neutralizing Clostridioides difficile toxin B and altering the gut microbiota and metabolites.
A model was developed to predict human biological age from physiological traits, enabling the prediction of future health and mortality and the identification of genetic loci that influence aging.

Higher body mass index has a wide range of harmful health effects, which sometimes appear to be more pronounced in men, suggesting that higher BMI may be one of the factors contributing to differences in lifespan between men and women.
Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI enables high-resolution, laminar mapping of cerebral blood volume in the primate brain, validating core neurovascular features and advancing noninvasive tools for neurometabolic imaging.
Phosphorylation of the kinesin-2 motor protein’s elbow region by NEKL-3 kinase maintains autoinhibition, enabling its transport to cilia for sensory function.
