The Drosophila Genetic Database, FlyBase, is on the brink of collapse due to the sudden termination of the FlyBase NIH grant, which includes salaries for 5 literature curators based at the University ...

On this page we collate articles explaining the history of Drosophila research, for all those who want to better understand the roots of all the wonderful work being done with flies in contemporary…

We are attempting for a publication to estimate the number of biologists who have attended a tutorial or training course in open source bioimage analysis (especially user friendly tools, but anything ...

Summary: We present practical guidelines for data exploration in quantitative cell biology that are designed to help yield reliable conclusions and promote a collaborative, transparent approach to dat...

Memory engrams are formed through experience-dependent plasticity of neural circuits, but their detailed architectures remain unresolved. Using three-dimensional electron microscopy, we performed nano...

Biological systems comprise multiple levels of organization , from molecules, organelles, and cells, to the multi-cellular structures that form whole tissues, organisms, and ultimately societies and …

Do you run a journal club? The non-profit, scientist-driven ASAPbio (Accelerating Science and Publication in Biology) promotes transparency and innovation in life science communication, and they are offering funding to organise preprint review clubs. Find out about their other activities, too.

Academic journals have been publishing the results of biomedical research for more than 350 years. Reviewing their history reveals that the ways in which journals vet submissions have changed over tim...

Cancer cells interact with their surroundings, known as the extracellular matrix, to grow and spread. While it is known how cancer cells break down the matrix externally, less is known about how they ...

Walk-through for generating the images used on the book cover and chapter pages of my PhD dissertation. - thomasfeliciani/2024_cover_images

Coordination of mitotic chromosome compaction with cell size is crucial for proper genome segregation during mitosis. During development, DNA content remains constant but cell size evolves, necessitat...

<p>The opening sequences are of normal cell behaviour in colour. Isolated cells showing active movement. Streaming of packed cells - movement. Contact inhibition. Mouse muscle fibroblasts. Abnormal be...

Cyclin-CDKs are master regulators of cell division. In addition to directly activating the CDK, the cyclin subunit regulates CDK specificity by binding short peptide “docking” motifs in CDK substrates...

The dynamic 3D shape of a cell acts as a signal of its physiological state, reflecting the interplay of environmental stimuli and intra- and extra-cellular processes. However, there is little quantita...
