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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In this Perspective, motif variations and current insights into the branchpoint motif, an essential intronic element for spliceosomal pre-mRNA splicing, are discussed.
This Perspective highlights the fundamental questions in the regeneration process from start to finish and how they might be addressed to facilitate cross-species studies.
The concept of model organisms in biological studies needs to be re-evaluated to reflect novel technological advances and help further scientific discovery.
In this perspective, Kiat and O’Connor review non-avian dinosaur and stem bird fossils data and propose that annual molt evolved among Neornithes at a later point than early pennaraptoran dinosaurs.
This Perspective looks at the choice of label-free optical microscopes available and discusses applications as well as scope for further improvement of labelfree imaging.
This Perspective outlines the concept of degeneracy as it applies to seizures and epilepsy, and emphasizes how this concept should be an important consideration across cellular, network and systems levels of research.
Evidence from in vitro experiments, animal models and humans is revisited and highlights the potential role of the blood-brain barrier in mediating the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation in AD.
This Perspective explores retinol’s resonance energy transfer (RET) capabilities for reversible activation of PKC delta, so pivotal for OXPHOS control, and illuminates novel aspects of retinoid biology.
