  1. A new framework for DNA editing

    Researchers have developed a new framework for making small changes to DNA in fish that provides new insights into human disease.
  2. Getting in shape

    The way in which actin filaments join together helps maintain the shape of a cell’s leading edge.
  3. A new way to ‘compaRe’

    The compaRe toolkit provides a faster and more robust method for analyzing datasets from high-throughput experiments.
  4. Jamming bacterial plumbing

    Repurposing bacterial weapons could offer a way to reduce antibiotic resistance.
  5. Tracking viral replication

    Certain cancer drugs help reduce the reproduction of the deadly virus causing Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever.
  6. Energy saving saves cells

    Storing excess ATP molecules helps cells to avoid protein aggregation.
  7. Building healthy bones

    The cells responsible for forming bones need the amino acid proline to develop properly and produce the right proteins.
  8. The limits of (working) memory

    Humans’ ability to make accurate decisions worsens over time, as the relevant information stored in working memory decays.
