This important study presents a technically rigorous and carefully controlled analysis of the signalling potential of cancer-associated gain-of-function Notch alleles. The work is clearly presented, ...

The authors have performed a potentially valuable new kind of analysis in connectomics, mapping to an interesting developmental problem of synaptic input to sensory neurons. While the analysis itself ...

For just a few hours, shimmering waves of calcium move through cells in the developing eyes of fruit flies. These spontaneous waves serve a purpose, enabling communication between cells and shaping ...

But at one point, this was poo that Poyet and her colleagues, including her partner Mathieu Groussin, had collected as part ...

After fertilization, embryos race through rapid cell divisions before slowing down to build specialized cells that will carry ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

MIT researchers mapped RNA editing across more than 200 individual fly motor neurons, uncovering hundreds of canonical and ...

Cellular traffic jams inside a fruit fly embryo might sound like a minor detail, but new work suggests they help flip a ...

A new study shows that oral arginine, a naturally occurring amino acid, can significantly suppress amyloid-β aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease models.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is one of the leading causes of dementia worldwide, and ...

Kanazawa University research: Scientists develop a new method to measure cellular energy in real time ...

New research shows that the same dopamine receptor mechanism responsible for drug addiction also governs the natural decline in motivation when we repeat rewarding behaviors.
