Poropat et al. report the first sauropod gut contents found worldwide in a specimen of Diamantinasaurus from the Cretaceous of Australia. These fully support previous hypotheses of sauropod herbivory and bulk feeding. Mixed-level browsing is implied by the presence of conifers (higher-level) and angiosperms (lower-level) within the gut contents.
Roy et al. identify VDAC1 as a target for pharmacologically induced insulin hypersecretion in β cells. Hypersecretory stress causes a distinct transcriptomic signature that implicates…
Longitudinal tracking of long-term learning behavior and striatal dopamine reveals that dopamine teaching signals shape individually diverse yet systematic learning trajectories, captured mathematically by the…

T cells perform critical roles in orchestrating immunity in health and disease. However, decoding what individual T cells recognize has long been challenging due to the…
Organisms must adapt to unpredictable environmental perturbations. We propose that the immune system, which can be redistributed across tissues (‘immune innervation’), cooperates with the nervous…
Heat stress poses a serious threat to grain quality and yield in rice. Li et al. identified a natural variation in QT12, which is regulated…
Cai et al. demonstrate that methionine-mediated IL-5 secretion activates the NF-κB pathway and enhances integrin αvβ3 expression in endometrial cells, which improves endometrial receptivity. Meanwhile, methionine…
Sakai et al. describe that the lysosomal membrane protein LAMP2B regulates microlipophagy by interacting with membrane lipids, facilitating lysosome-lipid droplet interactions and promoting lipid hydrolysis.…
Fang et al.’s study elucidated the role of Piezo1 in regulating normal and postinjury CSC fates through SCD1-Wnt-β-catenin and the SCD1-mediated fatty acid desaturation process. The…
