Skeletal stem cells have been isolated from various tissues, including periosteum and bone marrow, where they exhibit key functions in bone biology and hematopoiesis, respectively. The role of ...

A regression discontinuity analysis finds essentially no effect of 1 additional year of secondary education on brain structure in adulthood. This is a valuable finding that adds to the literature on ...

Quantitative models for responses of rod and cone photoreceptors are developed that allow direct tests of the impact of the photoreceptors on responses of downstream visual neurons.

Targeted memory reactivation improved memory performance of easy-to-learn words, but had no effect of difficult-to-learn words, which suggests a critical role of word learning difficulty in sleep ...

Behavioral strategies for foraging and reproduction in the oriental fruit fly ( Bactrocera dorsalis) are alternative options for resource allocation and are controlled by neuropeptides. Here we show ...

For mRNA decapping by enhancing DCP2's mRNA-binding affinity and regulating distinct biological processes through DCP1a and DCP1b, human DCP1 is essential.

This useful study examines the function of the rnc gene, which encodes the RNase III ribonuclease, as it relates to virulence of Salmonella Enteritidis. The authors demonstrate that the rnc gene is ...

Organogenesis requires the proper production of diverse cell types and their positioning/migration. However, the coordination of these processes during development remains poorly understood. The gonad ...

This important study explores the interplay between gene dosage and gene mutations in the evolution of antibiotic resistance. The authors provide solid evidence to connect proteostasis with gene ...

Exceptionally long-lived macromolecules in mammalian ovaries and oocytes serve as pillars for lifelong reproductive health span.

This valuable study uses robust time-dependent microscopy assays to show that during HIV-1 infection, the viral accessory protein Vif causes cell cycle arrest during metaphase and not G2/M as ...
