https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/843698v1
Wild isolates of carnivorous fungi of Arthrobotrys species vary in their ability to trap and kill worms. G protein signalling is key to the response.
Human neutrophils produce antifungal extracellular vesicles against Aspergillus fumigatus
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/620294v2
Neutrophils release extracellular vesicles loaded with antifungals in response to Aspergilus fumigatus attack. The vesicles enter the fungal hyphae and interfere with fungal cell wall integrity. A new mechanism of human immune response against fungi.
Septins coordinate cell wall integrity and lipid metabolism in a sphingolipid-dependent process
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.09.940718v1

2024 Hypothalamus GRC
This 2024 Hypothalamus GRC (Gordon Research Conference) preList offers an overview of cutting-edge research focused on the hypothalamus, a critical brain region involved in regulating homeostasis, behavior, and neuroendocrine functions. The studies included cover a range of topics, including neural circuits, molecular mechanisms, and the role of the hypothalamus in health and disease. This collection highlights some of the latest advances in understanding hypothalamic function, with potential implications for treating disorders such as obesity, stress, and metabolic diseases.

October in preprints – DevBio & Stem cell biology
Each month, preLighters with expertise across developmental and stem cell biology nominate a few recent developmental and stem cell biology (and related) preprints they’re excited about and explain in a single paragraph why. Short, snappy picks from working scientists — a quick way to spot fresh ideas, bold methods and papers worth reading in full. These preprints can all be found in the October preprint list published on the Node.
