Comparative transcriptome analyses of human placenta reveal regulatory divergence between native highlanders and lowland immigrants living at high altitude, and a sex-biased pattern of genetic adaptation.
When used to capture fluid cognition, Brain Age likely fails to add substantially more information over and above chronological age and could miss up to around one-third of the variation.

A novel behavioural pipeline enables the quantitative analysis of the onset of movement in Drosophila embryos revealing that a microRNA modulates this process through regulatory effects in the sensory system.
Amyloid-beta aggregates and lipopolysaccharide differ in their kinetics of Myddosome formation and size of Myddosome formed, providing an explanation for the less efficient triggering of TLR4 observed with aggregates.
Viral evolution can lead to mutations that render specific glycosylation sites dispensable for folding and for supporting the protein's function, allowing changes in the shield, and in the immunogenic profile.
Phosphate and calcium from resorbing bone can find their way to the coronary circulation and contribute to atherosclerotic calcification of the blood vessels.

The self-buckling behavior of filamentous cyanobacteria allowed a quantification of their propulsion forces, indicating that adhesion plays an important role in gliding motility.
