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.
Scientists have detailed a new method of identifying antimicrobial enzymes from large datasets of bacterial proteins, which could provide a solution to antibiotic resistance.
A study has detailed the entire nervous system circuitry of the three-day-old larva of a marine worm, which may help scientists learn more about how the nervous system evolved and drives behaviour.
