Experiments on tropical trees suggest that new mutations in plants are driven by age rather than number of cell divisions during growth.

Genetic variation in a biogenic amines receptor underlies a means of gain control for nonassociative learning and hence an important form of attention that is the basis for tradeoffs in foraging in a social collective.

A meta-analysis of single-cell data reveals an advanced and conserved polarisation state of SPP1⁺ macrophages in multiple human fibrotic tissues.

Large-scale screens and computational approaches reveal phenotypes for 3492 genes and gene-ontology predictions for 783 genes, including hitherto unstudied genes, which provides a potent platform to further dissect protein function.

Analysis of islet calcium oscillation responses will provide the field with a resource with which to determine the strain of interest for their specific islet biology questions.

Mitochondrial quality control in the germline is mediated by regulators of both programmed cell death and the aging program.

Mutational analysis in cell-based models of C9ORF72 ALS/FTD identifies canonical translation initiation codons (AUG) on the antisense CCCCGG transcript as initiation sites for synthesis of neurotoxic dipeptide repeat proteins.

Identification of human DNA sites differentially methylated with aging across six different primary immune cells suggests that the sensing of hypoxia drives the epigenetic clock.

Analysis of data from monozygotic twins reveals that DNA methylation level in human blood cells is reactive to cigarette smoking.
