Horizontal cell undergoes amoeboid-like migration in the developing vertebrate retina, a not previously reported migration mode in the central nervous system, that allows them to move within a densely packed tissue without predetermined paths.
Staphylococcus aureus NAD kinase promotes infection by protecting bacteria from host antimicrobial defenses and by supporting production of major virulence factors.
The three-dimensional structure of bacterial biofilms is governed by a buckling-delamination process that is determined by basic physical parameter that allow us to predict and control the biofilm morphology.

Selection acting on SARS-CoV-2 variants altering the infectivity profile depends on levels of transmission in the community, and this dependence is used to infer Alpha and Delta variants infectivity profiles.

Effectively connected neurons self-organize forming networks with a small-world architecture composed of modules, with most likely few and nearby neurons, integrated by more topologically important and high firing rate neurons.

Real-time imaging of neural activity in behaving mice reveals that the two canonical types of neurons in the olfactory tubercle carry distinct information about learned odor cues, with D1 neurons representing stimulus valence and D2 neurons mainly representing stimulus identity.
Sensory-evidence accumulation is a distributed cortical computation, but frontal cortical areas contribute to accumulation on longer timescales than posterior cortical areas.
