With three simple steps in 48 hr, EZ Clear effectively renders adult mouse organs optically transparent while simultaneously preserving signal from synthetic and endogenous fluorescent reporters and is compatible with wholemount immunostaining and cryosectioning followed by histological or immunofluorescent staining.

A biophysically detailed model of mouse primary visual cortex reproduces, in a quantitative manner, experimentally recorded spikes and local field potentials, and suggests mechanisms that form current sinks and sources in vivo.

Breast luminal epithelial cells are the hotspots of aging-associated changes, which prime aged epithelia for oncogenic gene activation and may explain individual differences in breast cancer susceptibility due to the aging-associated increase in gene expression variances in luminal epithelia.
Cell-specific architectural properties such as the axon diameter of the white matter of the human brain can be quantified accurately and non-invasively using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.

Targeted manipulations on organotypic cultures show that the retina switches between at least four different metabolic pathways, each with different yields and kinetics, to dynamically adapt to momentaneous energy needs.
Proper development depends on establishing precise gene expression patterns in spite of the inherent noise in transcription, shadow enhancers buffer this noise by binding distinct input transcription factors.

Partial chemical reprogramming is able to reduce the biological age of cells by diverting them to a different metabolic state marked by a strong upregulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
