A new study suggests the presence of Nora virus in laboratory strains of Drosophila fruit flies influences their resilience to stress and bacterial infection and can confound experimental studies of ...

A study in mice reveals key interactions between proteins involved in fibroblast growth factor signaling and how they contribute to distinct stages of eye lens development.

This important computational study investigates homeostatic plasticity mechanisms that neurons may employ to achieve and maintain stable target activity patterns. The work extends previous analyses of ...

This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

This study provides proof-of-principle data for the use of trained immunity to modulate macrophage interactions with tumours. The study makes a valuable contribution to the field of trained immunity.

Huang and colleagues examined neural responses in mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during a discrimination-avoidance task. The authors present useful findings that ACC neurons encode primarily ...

This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

This important research addresses the effects of subjective control and task difficulty on experienced stress using a novel behavioral task in two, large online samples. Convincing evidence is ...

Anti-science policies, funding cuts, scientific censorship and the US withdrawing from international commitments are worrying members of the ReForm Lab at the College of William & Mary.

New results help address a longstanding debate regarding which learning strategies allow animals to anticipate negative events based on past associations between sensory stimuli.

Methods: To study accessibility and reproducibility in cardiovascular research reporting, we screened 639 randomly selected articles published in 2019 in three top cardiovascular science publications: ...
