An epidermal membrane periodic scaffold protects axons from damage.

Bioscience South Cambridge doctoral training Partnership (BioSCaPe) is a transformative PhD programme designed to create the bioscience leaders of tomorrow. Based in the heart of the world-leading Cam...

The MacArthur "Genius" Award-winner was best known as the founder of the Disability Visibility Project, which highlights disabled people and disability culture through storytelling projects, social me...

New integrative study uncovers the spatial organization of transcripts and proteins in the mouse hippocampus, offering insights into brain function and plasticity.

Understanding the brain’s diversity requires spatially resolved maps of transcripts and proteins. Here, the authors construct an integrated molecular atlas of the mouse hippocampus revealing loca...

New study shows ribosome biogenesis can occur within neuronal branches, challenging traditional textbook biology.

Coleoid cephalopods such as the common octopus have a complex visual system, with a camera-type eye and a large optic lobe, that evolved independently from its counterpart in vertebrates. However, the...

Spatiotemporal control of biomolecules is a key challenge in cell biology. Here, authors introduce RELISR, an optogenetic condensate system enabling reversible, light-dependent sequestration and relea...

This page highlights recent articles advancing our knowledge in molecular, cell and developmental biology, including disciplines as diverse as cell division, ...

How oxidative stress impacts neurons is poorly understood. Here the authors reveal that overactivation of autophagy following oxidative stress contributes to neuronal death and discover a protective f...

Nature - Nanoparticle-based ‘microgauges’ are developed for in vivo force sensing and deployed in C. elegans to investigate how mechanical force correlates with electrical signalling in...

Cytokines remodel the ribosome to incorporate the P-stalk, therefore altering the translation of mRNAs involved in cytokine responses.
