Highlights
-
Nanosprings probe motor proteins
DNA nanosprings can measure stall forces in kinesin motor proteins, highlighting their potential as a new tool for force spectroscopy in biophysics.
-
Reprogramming progenitor cells
Progenitor cells destined to become glial cells can be reprogrammed to become corticospinal-like neurons
-
An animal model for cerebral small vessel disease
Zebrafish can be used to study the cellular mechanisms responsible for cerebral small vessel disease, which is a leading cause of stroke and dementia.
-
Research culture
The Researcher Development Concordat has led to improvements in research culture in the UK, but there is still more to do.
-
Written out of history
Four women whose pioneering contributions to science have been largely overlooked.
-
What is a Reviewed Preprint?
Reviewed Preprints provide benefits to authors and to the wider scientific community.
We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.
