Multi-species genome-wide CRISPR screens identify conserved suppressors of cold-induced cell death
This study presents important findings on cold tolerance shared between hibernating and non-hibernating mammals, identifying a key molecule, GPX4, through multi-species genome-wide CRISPR screens. The ...

Neuronal Development: Rethinking sensorimotor circuits
New research shows that the neural circuit responsible for stabilising gaze can develop in the absence of motor neurons, contrary to a long-standing model in the field.

Oxytocin salvages context-specific hyperaltruistic preference through moral framing
This study presents a valuable finding that altruistic tendency during moral decision-making is context-dependent (present in the gain domain but absent in the loss domain) and its absence in the loss ...

Colony demographics shape nest construction in ants
This study presents an important finding that ant nest structure and digging behavior depend on ant age demographics for a ground-dwelling ant species (Camponotus fellah). By asking whether ants ...
