  1. Finding a treatment for fatty liver disease

    Current animal models of fatty liver disease fail to predict if a drug could work in humans.

  2. Bent out of shape

    An automated imaging system helps to predict the roles of unknown genes by analyzing the shapes of mutant bacteria.

  3. The prostate cells that can survive castration

    Cells located at the base of the mouse prostate produce a protein called RUNX1 and survive hormone deprivation after castration, but cannot regenerate the organ.

  4. A pathway to Parkinson’s disease

    Two genetic mutations associated with Parkinson’s disease may disrupt the signaling pathways that regulate movement earlier than previously thought.

  5. Photosynthesis in pink

    Plants can adapt to using a carotenoid found in salmon and shrimp to perform photosynthesis when β-carotene is unavailable.

  6. No need to FRET

    A technique for studying the flexibility of single proteins will become available to more researchers thanks to a new analysis platform that uses machine learning technology.

  7. Follow your nose

    How do fruit flies find the source of an odor when it is dispersed by the wind?

  8. Mass producing a model for Parkinson’s disease

    Robots that can generate thousands of brain-like structures may help researchers discover new drugs for Parkinson's disease.
