Highlights
-
Closing the neural tube
High-throughput arrayed CRISPR interference screening of organoid models gives insight into genetic regulators of neural tube closure in humans.
-
Evolution in eutherian mammals
Following the end-Cretaceous extinction, eutherian mammals in China evolved larger teeth before developing more specialised biting adaptations.
-
Modulating hyperexcitability
PRRT2, a transmembrane protein, helps to limit neuronal hyperexcitability by modulating slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels.
-
Publish-review-curate at eLife
eLife is rethinking how research is reviewed and published.
-
Science under threat
How should the scientific community respond to ideological attacks on science?
-
How to respond to peer reviewers
Responding to peer reviews is a crucial part of publishing, but early-career researchers are rarely taught about it.
We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.
