New study shows that arginine deficiency interferes with immune system gene expression, and increasing arginine intake in such instances could improve it.
Elizabeth Campbell studies the molecular machinery that all living cells use to read and transcribe their genetic instructions. Her lab is finding new ways to block this critical machinery in bacteria and viruses.
FlatMux captures electrical activity optically from nearly 200 genetically defined neurons across brain circuits, revealing how signals flow, cells connect, and computations emerge in a living mouse brain.
A newly discovered signaling network transmits advanced intelligence from distal regions of the body to the blood-brain barrier, giving the brain time to ready itself.
A new study suggests that caregiving behaviors are regulated by neural mechanisms that change over the course of an ant’s lifetime, a finding that offers insights into the origins of a crucial social behavior and how healthy brains age.
A new protein-tracing platform reveals how fat and liver cells communicate during fasting, inflammation, and obesity, and links many of those signals to human disease.
