This study represents a useful finding on the social modulation of the complex repertoire of vocalizations made across a variety of strains of lab mice. The evidence supporting the claims is, at ...

A system to enrich yeast in metaphase of mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II reveals reduced spindle assembly checkpoint robustness in meiosis I and distinct kinetochore composition and phosphorylation ...

The biosynthesis of an important biopolymer called hyaluronan requires an enzyme that discriminates between two different substrates.

Patterns of neural activity called theta oscillations have a role in memory encoding but – contrary to current thinking – do not appear to have a role in memory retrieval.

Adolescents value reciprocity less than adults, limiting cooperation despite intact learning about others’ behavior.

Air pollution activates macrophage-derived artemin, sensitizing TRPA1 nociceptors to drive neutrophilic asthma, revealing new therapeutic targets for refractory airway inflammation.

Findings provide a first step in understanding the motivations behind cooperation in adolescents and adults, paving the way for future research to explore these behaviours in real-world situations.

Norio Takeshita explores the microbiology of Japan’s national fungus and how it reflects centuries of human cultivation.

Human neurons derived from stem cells show increased structural complexity and stronger synaptic connections after exposure to psilocin, the active metabolite of the psychedelic psilocybin.

This mutation prevented VPS34 complex I binding to Rab1 but, surprisingly, it strengthened the interaction between VPS34 complex II and Rab5. The researchers carried out a series of experiments to ...

Different impacts of the same molecular and circuit mechanisms on sleep–wakefulness control in early-life juveniles and adults.

Analysis of scRNA-seq data from primate embryoid bodies highlights the value of cross-species comparisons for identifying and characterizing cell types, as marker genes can evolve fast.
