Height in early adulthood is an indicator that integrates across different dimensions of sustainable human development with links to health and longevity, nutrition, education and economic productivity.

Repurposing of a drug designed for pain relief can quickly and reversibly slow biochemical and metabolic activities in cells and organs and could facilitate organ transplantation and prevent tissue injury.

Reconstructing human mobility patterns using historical period genomes illustrates how the Roman Empire’s military and economic activities catalyzed an era of transient movement against the backdrop of generations-long prehistoric migrations.

Epigenetic modifications to DNA can regulate E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in human cells.

Thousands of cell-type-specific split-GAL4 driver lines and a massive, searchable image collection enable Drosophila neuroscientists to target neurons of interest with increased precision.

The function of human airway macrophages can be therapeutically manipulated by targeting cellular metabolism to support immunity in the lung, aiding the design of innovative strategies in respiratory medicine.

This first comparison of different methodologies to estimate germline mutation rate from pedigrees resulted in almost a 2-fold variation in the estimated rates, discrepancies mainly caused by different filtering methods.

Prolonged CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T-cell activation and long COVID symptoms at 3 months post hospitlization independently associate with severe COVID-19, and ongoing T-cell activation does not affect the generation and maintenance of memory T-cell and antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2.

Photopharmacological manipulations of mGlu5 receptors with light-sensitive negative allosteric modulators show brain region-specific roles in pain modulation and suggest that blockade of mGlu5 receptors in the amygdala may limit the overall analgesic activity of mGlu5 receptor antagonists.

Genome sequencing reveals the evolution and epidemiology of Leishmania donovani in the Indian subcontinent, where epidemics have caused up to 30,000 deaths per year.
