The naked mole rat defies the Gompertz law and shows no sign of increased mortality risk as it gets older.

Why does the human regulatory system, which evolution tuned for small satisfactions, now constantly demand 'more'?

The deer mouse (Peromyscus) has emerged as a model system for studying many aspects of biology, supported by extensive historical knowledge of its fascinating and varied natural history.

A citizen science game reveals play interest patterns that could inform crowdsourcing experiment design.

Cellular carbon accumulation systems are a fundamental prerequisite for biomineralization to stabilize pH and to supply inorganic carbon for CaCO₃ precipitation under changing environmental conditions.

Selective synapse formation in a retinal motion-sensitive circuit is orchestrated by starburst amacrine cells, which use homotypic interactions to initiate formation of a dendritic scaffold that recruits projections from circuit partners.

During centrosome maturation, pericentrin is delivered to the centrosome co-translationally by a microtubule- and dynein-dependent process, as pericentrin mRNA is undergoing active translation near the centrosome.

Contact with bacteria and subsequent hypoxia promotes functional maturation of the immature gastrointestinal tract.

Optogenetics and in vivo recordings in mice reveal that pauses in cholinergic interneurons offer an alternative mechanism to inhibit subthreshold and suprathreshold events of spiny projection neurons.
