Cancer systems immunology is a highly interdisciplinary field that is advancing our ability to understand and predict the complex behavior that orchestrates the interplay between tumors and the immune system.

The universal bacteria cell wall component peptidoglycan impacts the egg-laying behavior of infected Drosophila females by directly modulating the activity of few brain octopaminergic neurons.

A method to assess the training of scientists, based on a set of 10 core competencies, is proposed.

An analysis of more than 3000 randomized controlled trials published in JAMA, the Lancet and NEJM has identified 396 medical reversals.

Theoretical ideas have a rich history in many areas of biology, and new theories and mathematical models have much to offer in the future.

Wild baboons are an excellent model to study complex evolutionary processes such as speciation and hybridization, as well as the links between sociality, longevity and reproductive success.

The ASAP initiative will incentivize collaboration between researchers and encourage open-science practices to improve our understanding of the biology underlying Parkinson's disease.

Scientific abstracts have become less readable over the past 130 years, in part because recent texts include more general scientific jargon than older texts.

Sex-inclusive research practices have increased in many biological disciplines over the past decade, yet critical sex-based analyses and reporting have remained stagnant in most of these disciplines.

A text-mining study suggests that about half of the papers reporting the results of experiments on mice do not report the sex and age of the mice.
