Direct observation in the developing fly brain indicates that the response of a growth cone in a gradient of a guidance cue is adhesion to the source of the cue rather than attraction by the gradient.

Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.

This microscale cultivation strategy will help in the discovery of novel bacterial species and their prioritization for antibiotic screening campaigns.

The distributions of cellular neighborhood volumes in two very different multicellular species - snowflake yeast and Volvox carteri - are found to obey a common functional form arising from maximum entropy consideration, despite great differences in their cell division processes.

A recent report proposing that the dpp stripe (the main source of the protein dpp) is dispensable for Drosophila wing disc growth missed the critical role on growth due to imprecise spatial removal of dpp.

MorphoGraphX summarizes full 3D datasets as curved surface images (2.5D), enabling the efficient quantification of growth and gene expression data from large time-lapse volumetric datasets.

The levels of the cytokine BAFF increase across senescence paradigms, in turn triggering a secretory phenotype in some senescent cells and activating p53 in other senescent cells.

A realistic model of the connections between local populations of neurons in the adult mouse brain can be constructed based on just two biologically plausible rules.

Studies of organoid morphogenesis, combined with proteomics and molecular profiling, identify the THBS1-YAP axis as a signalling mechanism that mediates paracrine communication between tumour cells and their wildtype epithelial neighbours.

First identification of the molecular determinants driving contact-dependent predation in Myxococcus..
