Adopted individuals in large-scale population based cohorts can be leveraged to partition maternal genetic effects into prenatal and postnatal components, helping elucidate the underlying mechanisms behind these associations, and for diseases, yielding important information regarding the optimal timing of interventions.

Low-burden does not mean low local transmission, and tailor-made strategies are needed to control TB based on the knowledge of the local transmission dynamics.

Chronic inhibition of mTORC1 signaling strongly affects the morphology, physiology and output of dopamine neurons leading to impaired dopaminergic function in mice.

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella follow a common trend in swimming cost-effectiveness, but eukaryotic flagella are too large for cells with prokaryote volumes, yielding insight into flagellar dissimilarity between taxa.

The primitive state of vertebrate lungs is unpaired, evolving to be truly paired in the lineage towards the tetrapods, increasing the pulmonary efficiency during the water-to-land transition.

Interaction of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) with human amniotic epithelial cells (hAEC) confers hESC a pluripotent potential that resembles the anteriorized epiblast, which is predisposed to form the neural ectoderm.

Analysis of protein content and protein composition of the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine, but not of the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine, indicated significantly higher than expected levels of host cell proteins (HCPs) and of free viral proteins.

Regulation of Cav2.3 Ca²⁺ channels by membrane-bound β2 subunit splice variants permits long-lasting channel activity even during prolonged and continuous activity in dopamine neurons, with implications for Parkinson's disease pathophysiology.

Spiking neural networks become robust to various perturbations of their parameters if their voltages are confined to a lower-dimensional subspace, and both dynamics and robustness can be visualised in this voltage subspace.

In mammals, how populations respond to extremes in the weather is related to their pace of life, with shorter living species having stronger responses than their longer living counterparts.
