The detection of a salient stimulus triggers a stereotypical oculomotor response, an impulse to look toward it, whose timing and strength are largely independent of behavioral significance and top-down control.

Mammals evolved an invasive placenta early in the origins of pregnancy.

A mitochondrial membrane-bound protein ATAD1 uses conserved structural elements to remove mislocalized membrane proteins from the outer mitochondrial membrane, achieving proper cell organization.

The predictive power of a computational model advances understanding of the neuronal and circuit biophysical mechanisms that generate the respiratory rhythm and neural activity patterns in the mammalian brainstem.

New construct designs and gene targeting strategies from the Gene Disruption Project allow efficient tagging of almost all Drosophila genes.

The first recently discovered inhibitors of lysine biosynthesis with in planta activity have a dual-target mode of action, which provides proof-of-concept for the development of multi-target ‘resistance-resistant’ herbicides with a novel mode of action.

Substrate rigidity modulates genomic stress in the epidermal basal cells of the developing zebrafish embryo and Yap1 and Wwtr1 are required for its survival.

Genetically induced conformational modulation of eIF2B activates the Integrated Stress Response by impairing nucleotide exchange.

Colored surfaces induce gamma oscillations in human early visual cortex that are equally strong for red and green colors when L-M cone contrast is controlled for.

A high-resolution approach for monitoring dry mass and the density of that dry mass on a single-cell level is developed and used to reveal that mammalian cells can lose components in mitosis due to lysosomal exocytosis.
