Targeting Kupffer cells (KC) with a single intravenous infusion of the oncolytic virus VSV‐M51R rather than VSV‐WT induces effective tumor regression in various types of liver metastatic cancers in mice. VSV‐M51R promotes KC proliferation and enhances their antigen cross‐presentation capacity without compromising viability, leading to the induction of ...

A Subcircuit in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Generates Wakefulness
This study identifies a sub‐circuit within the circadian pacemaker suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that promotes arousal. This sub‐circuit is labeled by the clock output molecule mWAKE, which suppresses its excitability in a time‐dependent manner. mWAKE‐expressing cells in the SCN (SCNmWAKE cells) project to the subparaventricular zone (SPZ) to mediate ...

Co‐Selection of Low Cadmium Accumulation and High Yield During Tomato Improvement
This study finds that large‐fruited tomatoes accumulate less cadmium (Cd) compared to wild tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. This is because, during the improvement process of tomato, the low‐Cd allele LCT1A and the large fruit allele fw3.2T are closely linked, leading to a co‐selection event.

GmSop20 Functions as a Key Coordinator of the Oil‐To‐Protein Ratio in Soybean Seeds
This study investigates the seed oil‐to‐protein ratio as a comprehensive quality metric and identifies GmSop20 as a crucial regulatory gene through forward genetics methodologies. By integrating GmSop20 with superior haplotypes and using gene editing/overexpression, new strategies are provided for precisely tuning the seed oil‐to‐protein ratio, thereby

BRD4 Signaling Maintains the Differentiated State of β Cells
The comprehensive exploration revealed the critical role of BRD4 in β cells. BRD4 plays a fundamental role in maintaining β cell differentiation because both long‐term and acute BRD4 deficiency result in a reduction in insulin secretion and downregulation of differentiation markers.
