A new tool for studying how nucleotide analogs inhibit the virus SARS-CoV-2 could lead to more effective treatments for COVID-19.

A new statistical approach that focuses on individual participants rather than population averages could help address issues of replication in psychology and neuroscience.

Removing a key protein from the worm Caenorhabditis elegans near the end of its live can double the worm’s lifespan, demonstrating that life-extending interventions can be made at any age.

Computer models of nerve cell circuits in growing zebrafish show how the maturing spinal cord controls swimming behaviors.

A new metric called information content could help predict whether a region of the genome will repress or activate the activity of the genes it controls.

The protein PRMT5 is important for the development of healthy follicles in the ovaries.

Three proteins help control the size, shape and number of pollen apertures on the surface of pollen grains in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Analyzing how a viral protein essential for COVID-19 infection binds to its receptor on cells in the body reveals how mutations can strengthen the interaction and increase the disease’s infectiousness.
