Polyomavirus ALTOs, but not MTs, downregulate viral early gene expression by activating the NF-κB pathway

This study shows that polyomavirus ALTOs, but not MTs, downregulate viral early gene expression by activating the NF-κB pathway, acting as tumor suppressors in Merkel cell carcinoma.

Sequential colonization events with restricted gene flow in a widespread European carnation species

This study investigates the colonization history of Dianthus carthusianorum using genome-wide SNPs and ABC-RF to reveal sequential East-West colonization events with restricted gene flow.

Multi-dimensional structure of C. elegans thermal learning

The paper develops a multi-modal model to explain C. elegans thermal preference dynamics, identifying two independent pathways influenced by temperature and food.

A ROS-Ca2+ signalling pathway identified from a chemical screen for modifiers of sugar-activated circadian gene expression.

The paper identifies a ROS-Ca2+ signalling pathway through a chemical screen that modifies sugar-activated circadian gene expression in plants.

One gene - two proteins: The C-terminus of the prototypical M2 muscarinic receptor localizes to the mitochondria and regulates cell respiration.

The paper shows that the C-terminal fragment of the M2 muscarinic receptor localizes to mitochondria and regulates cell respiration, independent of its canonical GPCR function.

Large-scale geographic survey provides insights into the colonization history of a major aphid pest on its cultivated apple host in Europe, North America and North Africa

The paper investigates the colonization history of the rosy apple aphid across Europe, North America, and North Africa using genetic and microbiota data, finding weak genetic differentiation and limited role of secondary endosymbionts in its spread.
