Metabolic labelling and quantitative proteomics reveal the temporal evolution of cellular and neuronal responses to global activity manipulations.

Observational field analyses demonstrate that within a species, variation in animal weapon size corresponds to individual differences in the costs and benefits of weaponry.

Two atypical cadherins regulate organ growth by tuning the coupling of cell cycle duration to organ size.

Stoichiometric interactions between microtubules and cortical force-generators set spindle size, position and dynamics, and its scaling with cell size in nematode species.

Diffusion but not advection becomes increasingly challenging for gas transport across insect spiracles as body size increases.

Transcriptomic, enzyme activity, and flux data demonstrate that metabolic scaling, the inverse correlation between body size and metabolic rate per gram of tissue, is a conserved phenomenon that occurs at multiple physiological levels and in multiple tissues.

Rod-shaped bacteria preserve their aspect ratios and surface-to-volume scaling by maintaining a homeostatic balance between the rates of cell elongation and division protein synthesis.

Activity-dependent bidirectional changes in phosphorylation of the autism-associated scaffold protein Shank3 are essential for the expression of homeostatic synaptic plasticity.

Scaling laws reveal the presence of adolescent growth spurts in bonobos and potentially in other non-human primates, challenging the notion of these spurts as a uniquely human trait and emphasizing the need to consider scaling laws when interpreting growth patterns.

The clonal oriented cell dynamics enables directional expansion and accurate scaling of sheet-like or rod-like cartilaginous elements and uncouples the mechanisms of elongation from thickness or diameter control.
