Independent dating techniques have established that the H. naledi fossils are between 236 and 335 thousand years old, indicating that small-brained hominins with relatively primitive body shapes co-existed with our early ancestors in Africa.

An integrated stem cell-based disease modeling and computational approach demonstrates how proximal airway epithelium is critical for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and distal alveolar cells are critical for simulating the host responses.

A decline in iron-recycling functions of the splenic red pulp macrophages early during aging is driven by iron loading and involves their damage and a loss in red blood cell clearance capacity.

The prediction of specific words is associated with distinct spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity within the left inferior and medial temporal regions before the predicted word is presented.

Fission yeasts cells have about 190 cytokinesis nodes in a broad band at the equator which scales with cell size and most but not all nodes condense into the contractile ring.

The secondary motor cortex causally contributes to flexible action selection during stimulus categorization with the representations of upcoming choice and sensory history regulated by the demand to remap stimulus–action association.

Neuronal reactivation during dopamine modulation induces input-specific LTP at previously primed hippocampal synapses, suggesting a possible solution to the credit assignment problem and a mechanism for memory linking.

A single neonatal inflammatory event induces long-term impairments in two forms of adult respiratory motor plasticity, an important aspect of the control of breathing for compensation after injury or disease.

Peripheral retinal input transiently amplifies information transmission from ganglion cells, dynamically allocating the resources of neural activity to times of expected high information content.

Zebrafish are an optimal model organism to study rare TP53 mutations whose functions are not readily understood.
