In a consumer-resource model obeying the physical requirement of flux conservation, metabolic competition between microbes yields consortia of cell types that collectively resist invasion via optimal use of resources.

Functional UltraSound imaging allows mapping tonotopic organisation in multiple auditory subcortical and cortical brain structures with an unprecedented spatial functional resolution, while giving access to long-distance top-down connectivity pattern from frontal cortex to auditory cortex.

New immigrants triggered fast uptake of a novel food in groupmates, who obtained information about it through muzzle contacts, opening up new questions about the role of dispersers in information flow around a population.

An open-source python package for phenotype analyses provides a versatile, modular and user-friendly solution to determine complementary fitness-related traits from large-scale assays of microbial colonies.

rDNA copy number is shown to dynamically change during aging and through generations, and is actively maintained in male germline of Drosophila.

A combination of in vivo models and imaging techniques reveals the distribution of guidance cues and their mechanisms of action during commissural axon navigation of intermediate target.

Habit-based theories of obsessive-compulsive disorder are further elucidated by employing mobile phone motor sequence training, for which patients exhibited equivalent automatization, but enhanced value for the trained sequence, potentially ameliorating symptoms.

Electric signals produced by weakly electric gymnotiform fish, long seen as communication attempts, may also serve to localize conspecifics, revealing a distinct functional role.

In triple-drug-treated HIV, partially resistant viruses can spread and resistance to specific drugs evolves in a predictable order, potentially a result of spatial or temporal heterogeneity in drug concentrations.

Structural biology studies reveal the importance of protein dynamics on understanding molecular mechanisms underlying allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that offer insights into future GPCR research and drug discovery.
