An analysis of leaf litter breakdown in climatically diverse habitats shows that decomposition by larger invertebrates dominates in hot, dry regions and warmer seasons.
Researchers have developed a computational tool that can pinpoint cause-and-effect relationships from large datasets of live-cell images, and illustrated its performance using a tumour-on-a-chip model.
A comprehensive analysis of neuromodulatory inputs to insulin-producing cells in fruit flies shows how individual cell responses are integrated to allow animals to rapidly respond to changing metabolic demands.
