  1. Igniting inflammation

    E-cigarette aerosols increase inflammatory signals in the lungs, brain, heart and colon of mice.
  2. Making the most of a tiny genome

    A virus changes how it copies and reads its genetic code to make more proteins from fewer genes.
  3. Timing memory recall

    A new computational model predicts when our brains store and retrieve memories of specific events while performing everyday tasks.
  4. Hormone storage depots

    Different hormones combine to form mixed storage systems that look a lot like the plaques found in Alzheimer’s.
  5. Tracking testosterone activity

    Three protein could be used as markers to help diagnose low testosterone activity in men.
  6. One cell at a time

    A new open-source platform refines existing methods for sequencing the genetic code of individual cells.
  7. How to end neural crest production

    Experiments in quail embryos shed light on how the central and peripheral nervous system segregate during development.
  8. Memory templates

    Multiple brain regions use common-sense knowledge about the world to create and recall memories for narratives.
