Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 kinase is recruited to membranes by its Rab GTPase substrates, and LRRK2 is both retained on membranes and further activated there by cooperative interaction with the phosphorylated Rab proteins that it generates.
With a data-driven mathematical modelling approach, within-host ecological information alone can provide clues on the mechanistic basis of diverse malaria infection outcomes.
anTraX is an algorithm and software package that facilitates automated analyses of insect social behavior in species and experimental settings that are not accessible with currently existing technology.
A new multi camera imaging platform simultaneously captures large-area, high-resolution video of unconstrained small model organisms and provides behavioral measurements that span multiple spatial scales.

DeepEthogram automatically classifies animal behavior videos into researcher-defined behaviors of interest, saving researcher time and enabling more detailed downstream analysis of behavior.
Brain lactate and pH changes, identified as common features in diverse neuropsychiatric animal models, may represent transdiagnostic endophenotypes associated with cognitive impairment.
Methods for video analysis of behaving animals are described, with guidance provided on setting up the methods in a research laboratory and best practices for experimenters and developers.
