A tailored cocktail of genes can reprogram a subset of progenitors to no longer produce glial cells and instead develop into neurons involved in motor control.

Computational principles shed light on why movement is preceded by preparatory activity within the neural networks that control muscles.

Glycans play an important role in modulating the interactions between natural killer cells and antibodies to fight pathogens and harmful cells.

The accumulation of SIRT4 in the nuclei of kidney cells drives kidney fibrosis, so blocking the movement of this protein could be a potential therapeutic strategy against fibrosis.

The neuropeptide neurotensin can reduce status epilepticus and its associated consequences through induction of therapeutic hypothermia when bound to a molecule that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier.

When carrying out a sequence of movements, humans can plan several steps in advance to make the movement smooth.

Salt stress delays seed germination in plants by increasing the hydrolysis of arginine-derived urea.

Slow and fast movements are controlled by distinct sets of spinal V2a neurons with matching properties and connections.

Regeneration of sensory axons after a burn injury depends on early keratinocyte responses regulated by the wound microenvironment.

The formation of large endolysosomal structures in unfertilized eggs ensures that lysosomes remain dormant before fertilization, and then shift into clean-up mode after the egg-to-embryo transition.
