Ethel Browne Harvey, Hilde Pröscholdt Mangold, Ida Henrietta Hyde and Marthe Gautier all made important contributions to developmental biology, but their names are largely absent from histories of science.

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Reducing the echo time of a whole-body MRI scanner makes it possible to image collagen, an important structural protein found in bones and tendons.

Hierarchical communication between cells with distinct positional memories orchestrates the regeneration of missing limb structures in axolotls.

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

An agreement between universities, research institutes and funders to support the career development of researchers in the UK has led to improvements in research culture since 2019, but there is still more to do.

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

Raman spectroscopy can be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition in E. coli.
