Authors Jenkins B, Frank T Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.06.17.732810. Abstract Chemical cues guide essential behaviors by signaling food, danger, and social information. A major dimension of chemosensory processing is valence, which biases animals toward approach or avoidance, yet its brain-wide organization in vertebrates remains unclear. Here, we used larval

Authors Laurence SD, Schilling M, Grimm NA, Mace E, Bemme S, Pape C Journal MedRxiv Citation medRxiv 2026.06.16.26355668. Abstract Purpose: New therapeutic strategies such as optogenetics have created a need for accurate tracking of inner retina degeneration in Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients. We introduce two tailored deep learning models to

Authors Merghani M, Gerhardt E, Hesse M, Fahlbusch C, Boecker CA, Outeiro TF Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.06.12.731951. Abstract Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common genetic cause of both familial and sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD). LRRK2 belongs to the leucine-rich repeat kinase (LRRK) family. Two members of

Authors Simeth NA Journal Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in Engl.) Citation Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2026 Jun 10:e26148. Abstract Addressing small-molecule chromophores with bioactive properties has been established as an effective means of controlling biological systems for several decades. However, the complexity of in vitro and especially in vivo
