Shelter selection is an important task in an animal's life. Concerning scorpions, little is known on the evaluation of potential shelters and the importance of chemosensation. To address these issues, we conducted a two-choice shelter test in rectangular open field arenas to identify properties rendering shelters attractive for female scorpions of the species E.

- Viral myocarditis involves the immune response to virus invasion, but the role of the GPR15 receptor in heart disease remains unclear.
- Researchers found that mice lacking GPR15 had trouble eliminating coxsackievirus B3, which resulted in harmful heart changes and dysfunction.
- The study suggests that GPR15 is crucial for the timely recruitment of regulatory T cells, and its absence leads to a prolonged inflammatory response and worse cardiac outcomes.
