A Perspective on how the tools of behavioral science and the emerging field of diverse intelligence help to understand decision-making of cellular collectives in evolutionary and biomedical contexts.
This review introduces the basic principle of fluorescence and two-photon excitation microscopy that is aimed at novice and advanced microscopists highlighting current techniques, trends, and practical guides for live imaging optimization.
The snake venom toxins responsible for tissue damage, their mechanisms of action and pathological effects are reviewed, together with the search of novel therapeutic alternatives to abrogate their effects
A theoretical framework, the Multi-Dimensional Management of Multiple Pests, is proposed to enhance the adoption of green Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tactics and encourage a more comprehensive assessment of environmental benefits.
An in-depth review compiling information about the effects of virus infections in protists and discussing how these interactions are important for cell biology, ecology and biotechnology.
This Perspective proposes that shift work adaptation occurs within-shift, over a block of shifts, or over a shift working career and offers physical activity as an accessible countermeasure to support adaptation across these timeframes.
Glymphatic and lymphatic communication contribute to the clearance of cerebrospinal fluid and the removal of macromolecules from the brain. Understanding the intricate mechanisms and the circadian influence might revolutionize treatment strategies.
In this Mini Review, the authors discuss the relationship between condensate formation, genome organization, and transcriptional activity, focusing on the experimental evidence behind the role of transcriptional condensates in gene regulation.
In this Perspective, the authors argue that it is time for biology to expand the traditional approach of observation with an engineering approach that transforms the nature of the underlying experiments to interactive context-depended design problems.
This Perspective discusses recent discoveries in DNA replication initiation, specifically focusing on minichromosome maintenance protein complexes, including details on their functioning, regulatory pathways, and implications for cancer therapies.
The subthalamic nucleus is a highly evolutionary conserved brain region. Emerging studies reveal spatio-molecular heterogeneity leading to improved understanding of the organization of the STN and targeting for specific neurological disorders.
This mini review discusses recent discoveries in NLRP1 inflammasome biology, human specificity, its response to cellular stress and the implications for targeting inflammasome-mediated disease.
This review discusses the challenges and opportunities of fMRI connectivity mapping across species and highlights a set of general principles governing the organization of mammalian connectivity networks.
As brain tissue is metabolically expensive, the evolutionary expansion of human brains required shifts in energy intake and metabolism. The External Fermentation Hypothesis proposes that a shift to consumption of externally fermented foods in human ancestors permitted a reduction in gut tissue required for internal fermentation, facilitating brain expansion.
In this Perspective, the authors evaluate the evidence for sexual selection on communication across Animalia, with particular emphasis on chemosensory traits.
Numerous unicellular eukaryotes host algal endosymbionts or utilize chloroplasts sequestrated from algal prey. They have developed some mechanisms to mitigate photosynthetic oxidative stress which are similar to those employed by algae and plants.
