New research suggests that identifying pathway-specific modes of recruiting actin regulators can help define how signal precision is maintained in dynamic tissue environments. Learn more this week in Science Advances: scim.ag/4BLBfh4
Section of a mouse neural tube stained with phalloidin to visualize filamentous actin protein. The formation of pathway-specific cytonemes, actin-based “highways” that guide delivery of morphogen and growth factor signals to distant target cells, remains largely undefined. Daly et al. analyzed the development of Sonic Hedgehog cytonemes and signaling sequences in mouse embryos, finding that repurposing cell adhesion molecule-related proteins BOC and CDON to recruit actin regulators promotes cytoneme elongation and precise information flow. Their study suggests that identifying pathway-specific modes of recruiting actin regulators can help define how signal precision is maintained in dynamic tissue environments. Credit: Christina Daly

A new study finds a group of neurons within the lateral parabrachial nucleus of the brainstem respond to cold temperatures by releasing enkephalin, a neuropeptide that reduces pain signals. The results mark a potential therapeutic strategy for pain relief. scim.ag/4ixqkii

Age reshapes how melanoma evolves, according to a new study showing that patient age alters natural selection on cancer-driving mutations. The same mutation can have different effects on the genetic evolution of melanoma depending on the patient’s age. scim.ag/3X5pLoF

Our paper “Machine Psychology” is out in @ScienceAdvances. We argue that LLMs should be studied like participants in psychology experiments. Benchmarks measure performance. Behavioral experiments show how models reason and act. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

A new study describes the Multimodal Ultrasound System for Injury Care device, which helps visualize spinal cord structure and track blood flow speed and velocity after surgery. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science Advances: scim.ag/4sJDyxh
Artistic concept of the Multimodal Ultrasound System for Injury Care, or MUSIC device, which uses ultrasound to reveal the spinal cord’s inner structure after decompression surgery. Currently, direct observation of spinal cord physiology following spinal decompression surgery for acute spinal cord injury is challenging. Kerensky et al. designed the implantable MUSIC device to aid visualization of spinal cord structure and track blood flow speed and velocity after surgery. Their findings may enable postoperative spinal cord monitoring and management through sound-based ultrasound technology. Credit: Laura Roy, CMI / LauraRoyStudios.com
