Evolutionary pressures have shaped the feeding behaviours of aquatic microorganisms in alignment with the underlying physics of fluid flow.

Language prediction is a dynamic, resource-dependent process that changes across the lifespan.

The protein TRPV3 helps neurons remain active during fever, thereby preserving normal brain function and activity levels.

Sex-specific exploration explains differences in valence learning between male and female mice.

Extracellular vesicles promote the formation of filopodia, which are necessary for cell migration, indicating a role in health and disease.

Mutations that make short activation domains stronger increase the amount of transcription factor molecules bound to chromatin.

The gene moeA is involved structural colour of some bacterial colonies by modifying cell shape and colony organisation, thus causing a shift in reflected colour.

Microbes might behave less like distinct species and more like constantly interbreeding communities.
