Resurrection of ancient forms of CD4 reveals how retroviruses have placed selective pressure on this gene in apes, acting to propagate infection-resistant alleles.

This valuable study focuses on defining how the HSP70 chaperone system utilizes J-domain proteins to regulate the heat shock response-associated transcription factor HSF1. Using a combination of ...

Researchers have created a library of genetically engineered fruit flies linked to individual neurons in the nerve cord to characterise the circuits controlling wing motion.

Time-lapse analyses of millions of antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli characterize the diverse single-cell dynamics of persister cells that depend on antibiotics, culture conditions, and ...

Experiments in fruit fly larvae show that epidermal cells can communicate with sensory neurons to drive responses to pain.

This fundamental study explores a novel cellular mechanism underlying the degeneration of locus coeruleus neurons during chronic restraint stress. The evidence supporting the overexpression of LC ...

This study presents a valuable meta-analysis of two independent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) elucidating the role of plasma proteins as biomarkers for improving early detection of prostate ...

This study provides a valuable extension of credibility-based learning research by showing how feedback reliability can distort reward-learning biases in a disinformation-like bandit task. Although ...

This study presents a valuable meta-analysis that highlights low and highly variable breast cancer survival rates across Africa, emphasizing the pressing need for public health in Africa. The evidence ...

The authors confirm that telomeres in telomerase-positive cells terminate with 5'-ATC in a Pot1-dependent manner, and demonstrate that this principle holds true in telomerase-negative ALT cells as ...

This important study describes newly identified light-gated ion channel homologs (channelrhodopsins, ChRs) in several protist species, with a primary focus on the biophysical characterization of ChRs ...
