  1. Growing new blood vessels

    A study reveals how cells remain sensitive to environmental cues and ensure cell type specificity during formation of new blood vessels.
  2. Tailoring malaria control

    Local levels of strain diversity influence patterns of antimalarial drug resistance in different regions of the world.
  3. Making connections

    The interactions between critical proteins reveal how disorders in neuronal communication can develop.
  4. A cysteine feedback loop

    High, potentially damaging, cysteine concentration in the cells of roundworms can be regulated by a pathway that senses hydrogen sulfide gas.
  5. Anti-cancer drug

    A new form of the drug triptolide kills pancreatic cancer cells in mice with fewer side effects than the original molecule.
  6. The social brain

    Scientists develop a new device to measure how different parts of the brain communicate during social interactions.
  7. Controlling blood pressure

    A computational model built using experimental data from mice provides new insights into the sex differences associated with blood pressure medication.
  8. When humans are away, does wildlife come out to play?

    Acoustic recordings from urban areas during lockdowns reveal that bird presence and activity changed in species- and habitat- specific ways as a result of reduced human activity.
