Light-harvesting complex stress-related is a protein from photosynthetic green algae that prevents damage from sunlight via two distinct conformational processes, which protect against different timescales of solar fluctuations.
Combined experimental and theoretical analysis identifies a molecular mechanism akin to working memory that enables single cells to perform complex navigation tasks in changing growth factor fields, beyond simple stimulus-response associations.

Seasonal selection is a general feature of Drosophila melanogaster genetic variation, occurring in North American and European populations and affecting large proportions of the genome.
Novel modelling strategies can integrate the dynamics of processes regulating the intestinal epithelium at multiple scales in homeostasis and following perturbations to provide unprecedented insights into the biology of the epithelium and support the development of safer novel drug candidates.

For initiation of cell-wall insertion, the cross-linking enzyme PBP2 stably binds to a component of the cell envelope that is different from MreB filaments.
Intracranial recordings indicate that the insula encodes, in a partially intermixed layout, both static and dynamic cues from different body parts that reflect the intensity of pain experienced by others.
Human cells adapt to chronic mild stresses, such as slightly elevated temperature, by getting larger in a process that couples increased translation to increased cell size in an Hsp90-dependent manner.
