A combination of light and electron microscopy has revealed further details about the location and interactions of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.

Reducing the microbial diversity in a type of fermented tea reveals the core metabolic interactions responsible for the drink’s signature taste and characteristics.

Comparing the genomes of mammals which evolved to have poor vision identifies an important gene for eyesight.

Mathematical models encoding biological hypotheses reveal new insight into the dynamics of naive immune cells in mice from birth to old age.

In mice, stimulating cortical areas in the undamaged hemisphere of a brain affected by stroke impairs recovery.

Experiments using purified proteins reveal how the network of filaments that underlie cell movement becomes denser when pushing against a stronger mechanical force.
