Temporary changes in synapses may allow working memory to keep track of both events and their timing.

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Reducing the echo time of a whole-body MRI scanner makes it possible to image collagen, an important structural protein found in bones and tendons.

Hierarchical communication between cells with distinct positional memories orchestrates the regeneration of missing limb structures in axolotls.

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

Raman spectroscopy can be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition in E. coli.

Experiments reveal that a time-dependent epistatic interaction influences how mice respond to opioids, and that intracellular fibroblast growth factors also influence opioid sensitivity.
