The same host–virus interactions can evolve multiple times in nature, due to the high effective mutation rate of viruses, and provide interesting systems of study.
Seemingly disparate working memory biases, including short-term serial and contraction biases, may arise from a common mechanism via the interaction of multiple networks, each operating over a distinct timescale.

STED microscopy of human mitotic spindles reveals how augmin-nucleated microtubules protect the cell from erroneous kinetochore-microtubule attachments and ensure a highly organized architecture of the spindle required for mitotic fidelity.
An eco-evolutionary model shows that heterozygote advantage can maintain over 100 major histocompatibility complex alleles, providing a potent explanation for extraordinary immune gene diversity and challenges previous models that predicted limited allele coexistence.
The proposed method deciphers which low-level patterns (such as spikes) control high-level features (behavior) in relative small biological datasets, taking into account the statistical dependencies between such patterns.
The endosomal apparatus of African trypanosomes consists a continuous membrane system with functional subdomains rather than distinct compartments for early, late, and recycling endosomes.

Quantitative analysis in quasi-3D reveals apically driven cell behaviours that are closely coordinated across the tissue to allow ordered tube invagination through a focal point.

A new collection of fly strains comprehensively targets the motor neurons of the proboscis, allowing separate control of every muscle to determine how this appendage achieves flexible, directed reaching.
