Open science and consensus antibody validation protocols can identify high-quality, renewable antibodies for the ~50% of the human proteome currently covered, enabling robust and reproducible biomedical research.
Separating behaviorally relevant signals from irrelevant signals reveals that neural signals previously considered to contain little information encode rich information and suggests that linear readout may be performed in motor cortex.
Virus infection in mosquitoes initiates a highly discriminatory process in which fragments of viral RNA are reverse transcribed to create DNA copies that serve as templates of small antiviral RNAs.

Vanishing White Matter Disease mutations compromise the function of the essential translation initiation factor eIF2B by destabilizing the holoenzyme, and the small molecule ISRIB reverses their pathogenic effect by promoting complex formation.

Tapeworms grow and regenerate using stem cells distributed throughout their bodies, but their regeneration competence relies upon the unique micro-environment created by the head and neck.
Reconstitution of orientation-specific R-loop-replisome collisions with purified proteins reveals the differential impact of R-loop-associated RNA:DNA hybrids and G-quadruplexes on replication fork progression.

CRMP4 is a new actor in the guidance cue Semaphorin-3E pathway, crucially involved in the establishment of the fornix, a key axonal tract for memory and emotional control.
Genome editing in the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta opens newfound possibilities to functionally probe choanoflagellate genes that may illuminate the origin of their closest relatives, the animals.
Longevity in C. elegans is influenced not only by insulin/IGF-1 signalling, but also by CAMKII and calcineurin, acting on the same target, the transcription factor DAF-16.
