Rajan et al. explore the molecular basis of habituation in the unicellular organism Stentor coeruleus using a combination of pharmacological methods, proteomics, transcriptomics, and RNAi. These exper...

Stentor, the genus of large trumpet-shaped ciliates, is well-known for its complex morphology and striking behaviors. Members of this genus are distributed throughout the world in a wide and diverse p...

Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in SF bars.

The single-celled ciliate Stentor coeruleus demonstrates habituation to mechanical stimuli, but the mechanism of learning in this single cell, which l…

A new Marine Corps policy says troops with a genetic skin condition that can cause pain and scarring from shaving and mainly affects Black men can be separated if the health issue persists.

DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non–B-form DNA secondary structures that threaten genome stability by impeding DNA replication. To elucidate how G4s induce replication fork arrest, we characterized fork ...

Squid primary cells from various tissues and ages are isolated, maintained in culture, and express exogenous genes. This protocol opens up numerous opportunities in molecular biology, neuroscience, an...
