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

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

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

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

A new genetic barcoding approach in fruit flies enables labelling of specific cell populations and allows researchers to scale up behavioural experiments by pooling groups of flies.

New results shed light on how two transcription factors work together to control body size during the development of Caenorhabditis elegans larvae.

A combination of machine-learning techniques and more traditional modeling approaches can use the unique patterns of brain activity that evolve over time to predict traits such as age and cognitive ability.

New research sheds light onto the mechanisms controlling insulin release in live fruit flies, highlighting important similarities with humans.
