  1. A reusable brain implant

    The Apollo implant allows scientists to reliably and affordably track hundreds of neurons over months.

  2. Catching cancer cells

    A new drug could help the immune system detect tumor cells.

  3. Splitting speech

    Newborn babies can recognise patterns in how voices alternate, as well as detect word-like motifs even when individual syllables are pronounced by various speakers.

  4. Disrupting droplets

    Mutations in certain protein regions have predictable effects on the stability of cellular droplets and the risk of harmful protein clumps forming inside them.

  5. Sneaking between cells

    Key immune molecules help restrict SARS-CoV-2 transmission within tissues by stopping the virus from fusing neighbouring cells.

  6. The P3 edit

    A new method uses CRISPR genome editing to record how molecules interact inside cells over time.

  7. Sleep, eat, repeat

    The enzyme CDK5 is involved in changes to the circadian rhythm caused by exposure to light in the evening.

  8. Thrill of the chase

    A study in mice reveals a new role for CGRP neurons in coordinating responses to threats of different severity.
