Vertical locomotion in arboreal mammals is shaped by a complex interplay of body mass, limb proportions, grasping abilities, and head mass, and primates use distinct upright postures during descents.
Microfossils reported from Archaean BIFs most likely were liposome-like protocells, which had evolved intracellular mechanisms for energy conservation but not for regulating cell morphology and replication.

New machine vision tools are used to align densely packed cells recorded from live, deforming tissues and automatically annotate the identities of the recorded cell types.

To study fine touch, selecting samples based on how many mechanical instabilities they can form is more predictive than using the friction coefficient, which has been the default choice.
Conditional genetics and single-embryo RNA-seq show that SETDB1 extinguishes the transient, retroelement-driven transcriptional programs of the totipotent two-cell state to facilitate the exit from totipotency and ensure preimplantation development.
The RNA-binding protein BICC1 can act as a genetic disease modifier for kidney cyst formation, potentially explaining the high variability of disease onset and severity in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease patients.
Premature termination of transcription influences ribosomal RNA output and RNA polymerase I drug sensitivity, revealing a mechanism of resistance to transcription-targeting chemotherapy.

Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.
