A genetic analysis in yeast establishes that multicellularity can arise as a side-effect (passenger phenotype) of a completely independent fitness advantage unrelated to the benefits of group formation itself.
Disrupting oligodendrocytes during a narrow early-life window leaves cerebellar circuits permanently mistimed, but adult re-synchronization restores social and motor behavior.
Terminal tracheal cells in Drosophila evade innate immune activation, revealing a fundamental trade-off in which suppression of canonical immune signaling preserves Foxo-dependent plasticity and sustains respiratory function.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin structure in a cell-based model of breast cancer reveal chromatin reorganization accompanied by changes in transcription and epigenetic marks.

Present-day Faroese genomes reveal ancestry, bottleneck history, and signatures of selection, and offer a foundation for understanding the genetic architecture of health and disease in this North Atlantic founder population.
In an assay focusing on active virus recruitment rather than passive binding, STED microscopy reveals early association of virions to CD151, indicating its early involvement in viral entry platforms formation.
