Redaction, intended to obscure personal and institutional identity, reduced the gap between Black vs. White applicants in simulated review of real NIH scientific grant applications, thus providing qualified support for double-blinded models of peer review.

Dendritic patch-clamp recordings combined with two-photon imaging and glutamate uncaging reveal two types of regenerative calcium spikes in the dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons from rat hippocampus.

The pathogenic success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis relies in part on its ability to blunt a component of the TLR2-dependent immune response.

A combination of mRNA sequencing and genetic analysis reveals mechanisms that govern the development of distinct differentiated blood cell types from hematopoietic progenitors.

Protein kinase Cδ, a kinase downstream of B-cell antigen receptor, is found to be essential for class switching to and production of IgG in the T-cell-independent type 2 immune response and for regulation of gut-residing bacteria.

The Shu complex enables lesion bypass of specific alkylation-induced DNA damage including abasic sites and 3-methyl-cytosine.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination elicit antibodies that cross-react with other human coronavirus spike proteins, indicating the spike S2 subdomain as a potential target strategy to develop a pan-coronavirus vaccine.

Newly recovered lumbar vertebrae belonging to Malapa Hominin 2, an adult female of the fossil hominin species Australopithecus sediba, demonstrate that this individual was adapted to upright posture and bipedal locomotion but also had adaptations for climbing in trees.

Oncogenic BRAF causes genome duplication and reversible growth arrest in human melanocytes that is conditional on microRNA expression and differentiation state.

Giant ankyrin-B enables the transduction of Sema 3A repelling cues and is important for normal axonal connectivity.
