Open to candidates of Black or mixed Black heritage only.

Our PhD programme attracts the brightest scientific minds and is an opportunity for talented people to embark on their career in biomedical research.

Janelia scientists and collaborators have completed a wiring diagram of the central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly, the culmination of nearly two decades of groundbreaking research.

Enzymatic metabolism emerged from metal-catalyzed, aqueous reactions of H2, CO2, NH3 and phosphite at a hydrothermal vent.

Human embryonic development proceeds more slowly than in mice. The segmentation clock offers a tractable model for studying species-specific developme…

While cancer looms large in the public and scientific minds, this can result in a quite narrow view of its range and manifestations. The centering of human clinical investigations and the popularity o...

Using quantitative live imaging, Green et al. show that proneural gene expression is biased by positional cues and that Notch is activated only after neuroblast selection in the Drosophila embryo. Thi...

In Drosophila, cell fate switching in adult intestinal stem cells is determined through an epigenetic mechanism in which these cells count divisions, switching from producing enterocytes to producing ...

Highlighted Article: Comparison of the patterning capacity of Drosophila embryos that have only one of the three maternal gradients known to control anterior posterior patterning.

Call for Expression of Interest Registration on the Odyssée website will be open from July 23 to September 7 The NeuroMarseille Institute brings together 7 neuroscience laboratories, encompassing more

Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems have achieved remarkable capabilities, but at an extraordinary energy cost. Training and running large-sca…

A team led by LMU stem cell researcher Magdalena Götz now shows that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can influence developmental prog...

The reliable generation of diverse cell types in precise proportions is essential for the formation of functional tissues during embryonic development. Three-dimensional organoid models derived from p...

Here the authors identified the developmental origins of Lobula Columnar Neurons in the Drosophila brain, tracing them to four distinct brain regions. The convergence of similar neurons highlights the...

We are delighted to announce the winners of the Young Embryologist Network Image Competition held as part of the YEN 2026 Conference, which took place on

Conventionally viewed as a waste product or a cytosolic pyruvate source, recent findings suggest that lactate may also directly contribute to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. Using an intramitochondrial lactate biosensor, Rauseo et al. instead find that energized mitochondria are producers of lactate, which buffers mitochondrial redox to mitigate reactive oxygen species production.

Opportunities for postdoctoral clinicians to consolidate their research experience.

Editorial: The president’s cuts have defunded and alienated thousands of American scientists. Europe can benefit, if it makes the right offer
