Rapid odor processing by layer 2 subcircuits in lateral entorhinal cortex
eLife, 2022 Olfactory information is encoded in lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) by two classes of layer 2 (L2) principal neurons: fan and pyramidal cells. However, the functional properties of L2 cells and how they contribute to odor coding are unclear.

Adaptive Learning Gabor Filter for Finger-Vein Recognition
IEEE Access, 2019 Presently, finger-vein recognition is a new research direction in the field of biometric recognition. The Gabor filter has been extensively used for finger-vein recognition; however, its parameters are difficult to adjust.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Recurrent circuits within medial entorhinal cortex superficial layers support grid cell firing
Nature Communications, 2018 Medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) neurons encode various navigation parameters such as speed, head direction, as well as grid cells. Here, the authors demonstrate that brief disruption of the local activity in mEC specifically affects grid cell tuning.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Context-dependent serotonin signaling links dietary quality to foraging decisions
Nature CommunicationsAnimals sense their metabolic needs to guide adaptive behaviors partly through serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feeding in many species.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...
