Midbrain PAG Astrocytes Modulate Mouse Defensive and Panic‐Like Behaviors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Astrocytes in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) dynamically encode threat intensity and shape defensive action selection in mice. Real‐time Ca2+ imaging reveals robust astrocytic activation during predator odor and CO2 exposure. Aberrant astrocytic Ca2+ overactivation disrupts goal‐directed escape, biases behavior toward freezing, and induces ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A predictive model for 3D printability is developed by integrating rheological analysis, including the Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS) test, with machine learning. With prediction errors under 10%, the model shows that post‐extrusion recovery controls horizontal printability, while high‐strain‐rate nozzle flow dictates vertical printability ...

Soybean Auxin Transporter PIN3 Regulates Nitrate Acquisition to Improve Nitrogen Use and Seed Traits
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Xu et al. discovers that switching off auxin transporters in soybean, PIN3a and PIN3b, disrupts auxin flow; this triggers ARF‐STF3/4 signal cascade to activate the nitrate importer NPF2.13 and soil nitrogen acquisition. Multi‐year field trials show edited soybeans maintain yield with higher oil content, offering a potential genetic route to improve ...
