Reactive astrocytes release various molecules, which play a role in maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis. (1) Gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), ATP, and D‐serine, are secreted by vesicular exocytosis. In addition, astrocytes can also release ATP and glutamate through (2) P2X7Rs, (3) connexin‐43 (Cx43 ...

Spatiotemporal Control Over Circadian Rhythms With Light
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms are endogenous biological oscillators that synchronize internal physiological processes and behaviors with external environmental changes, sustaining homeostasis and health. Disruption of circadian rhythms leads to numerous diseases, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders.

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation
The study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...
