The gene that allows budding yeast cells to switch their mating type evolved from a newly discovered family of genes named weird HO.

Applying big-data analytic techniques to brain images from 18,707 individuals is shedding light on the influence of aging on the brain.

In mice, deleting a long noncoding RNA drives premature aging.

A new device for isolating large quantities of old yeast cells expands the experimental boundaries of aging research.

Iodixanol provides an easy and affordable solution to a problem that has limited resolution and brightness when imaging living samples.

Autophagic flux assays in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans suggest that autophagy decreases during normal aging, whereas long-lived daf-2 and glp-1 mutants maintain autophagic capacity in distinct spatiotemporal-specific manners to extend lifespan.

Cyanine fluorophores are encoded as non-canonical amino acids to produce functional proteins in cell-free translation systems and live cells for single-molecule imaging.

Perceptual decision making, even in simple scenarios, is affected by sensory and decisional choice biases.

A series of quantitative behavioural and opto-physiological analyses using a novel robot microscope system reveals that C. elegans computes the time-differential and time-integral of sensory information for decision-making during olfactory navigation.

The integration of a novel high spatiotemporal resolution volume imaging technique and a fast 3D tracking system allows capturing whole brain neural activities in a freely behaving larval zebrafish.
