Abstract. Lepidoptera are a highly diverse lineage of predominantly terrestrial insects, yet their larvae occupy diverse habitats where they may experience

Summary: DySTrack is an easy-to-use open-source tool that bridges standard microscope control software with the Python image analysis ecosystem to enable automated tracking of moving, drifting, or gro...

This Open Biology study uncovers how specialised stinging cells used for prey capture and defence, are regulated at a deeper level than ever before.

Mechanical forces shape the developing heart by controlling cell volume through a Piezo1-driven hydraulic mechanism.

Bristleworms possess dedicated cells that can synthesize highly stereotypical bristles with sub-micrometric precision. Here, Ikeda and colleagues shed light on the underlying dynamics of cellular prot...

A group of researchers tinkered with the neuropeptides in the brains of leafcutter ants, leading them to demonstrate radically different behaviors.

A survey of tropical insect populations and thermal tolerance limits indicates that species from lowland areas have low capacity to survive increased temperatures, and that thermal tolerance is limited by fundamental properties of protein architecture.

Nature - PIEZO2 is intrinsically more rigid than PIEZO1, and disparate mechanical stimuli paradoxically evoke opposite conformational and gating responses in each channel.

Malagazzia michelin is only the second species of its genus to be found in Japanese waters.

The School of Convergence Science at Imperial College London is inviting applications for fully funded PhD studentships on research projects that sup...
