The French-Iranian artist and film director 'died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life,' people close to her said.

Noboru Mizushima is Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Tokyo, Japan, where he runs a laboratory studying the mechanisms and physiological functions of autophagy and o...

TRIBUNE. Pierre Courtioux, professeur d’économie, et François Métivier, professeur de géoscience, expliquent, dans une tribune au « Monde », comment économiser 1 milliard d’euros sur le crédit d’impôt...

Critical Thinking AI for constructive criticism and science evaluation

First competitive call open! The first competitive call in the frame of the MuSkLE programme, which aims at selecting 17 doctoral fellows, opens on 6th March 2026 and closes on 6th May 2026. The open ...

Using live-imaging in vivo and ex vivo, Sarde et al. show that dystrophic muscle stem cells have precocious differentiation through symmetric divisions and impaired migration, with differential impact...

Bosveld et al. identified a multilayered system of safeguards that reuses homeostatic mechanisms to maintain epithelial integrity and cell number in the face of spindle misorientation. This work delin...

Animals must align intestinal plasticity and feeding with reproductive state, yet the checkpoint that gates these adaptations is unknown. Here we show that an ovary-to-enteric-neuron axis gates the on...

Background Enzymes of the Ten-Eleven Translocation family are responsible for 5-methylcytosine (5mC) oxidation and play a key role in regulating DNA demethylation during various developmental processe...

As biomedical research prioritizes human models and translational promise, classic model organisms are increasingly dismissed. Here we argue that they have a lasting value, both in enabling discovery and in cultivating scientific thinking, by training researchers in systems reasoning, integrative thinking and independent inquiry.

Zhang et al. demonstrate that AMPK can be activated by signalling metabolite, adenosine, under non-stress conditions during Drosophila development. The intestine regulates adenosine levels, thus, remotely controlling wing disc AMPK activation and growth.

ABSTRACT. Our current understanding of the molecular basis of embryonic development and the shared machinery underlying this remarkable process has its roots in three papers published 40 years ago, wh...

Adult stem cells often reside in specialized niches that they exit upon injury. Here they show that in Drosophila, after damage the gut-associated trachea produces the PDGF-VEGF-related ligand Pvf1, which acts as a guidance cue directing ISC migration toward injury sites.

Biswas et al. show that greater dietary sugar intake promotes fat accumulation in Drosophila adult females. In the presence of dietary sugar, the activity of the conserved insulin/insulin-like growth ...

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 ...
