Division Planes Do the Twist - Pankaj Dhonukshe shows how plant cells coordinate precise 90° rotations of the cell division axis to generate new cell layers....
How Does the Octopus Prevent Arm-to-Arm Interference?
Each of the eight long and flexible arms of the octopus is equipped with two rows of hundreds of suckers. This video from Nesher et al. shows that these suckers have a reflexive tendency to stick them...
Cav1 Shapes the Matrix to Guide Metastasis - Miguel del Pozo and team members show us how stromal fibroblasts can guide tumor cell migration by stretching the matrix into ordered tracks. Mutating Cav1...
Structural Insights into Competitive Antagonism in NMDA Receptors
Overactive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are implicated in several neurological disorders. However, mechanistic understanding of antagonism in NMDA receptors is limited due to a lack of antago...
Generation of complex behaviors by the brain requires the orchestrated activity of distinct neuronal populations. In this video, Javier Stern and Sook Jin Son describe their recent findings showing th...
Gender + Science: Conquering Bias Together. Anne Deconinck speaks about “Conquering Bias Together” at the Cell Press/AWIS LabLinks meeting on The Gender of Science and the Science of Gender held on Th...
An ERC research project led by Prof. Michael Boutros (DKFZ and Heidelberg University) analyzes genetic interactions in living cells with high-thoughput technology such as robotics and automatic micros...
Variance as a Signature of Neural Computations - Can the variability of neural responses provide insight into mechanisms of decision making? Anne Churchland and co-authors have developed a technique t...
Blood-Brain Barrier Breakdown and Cognitive Impairment in Humans
Blood-Brain Barrier Breakdown and Cognitive Impairment in Humans - By imaging the living human brain, Montagne et al. show an age-dependent blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown in the hippocampus, a re...
Endoderm Formation: Not So Black and White Anymore
Endoderm Formation: Not So Black and White Anymore - Dr. Hadjantonakis discusses the work of her group on using live-imaging approaches coupled with genetic labeling in the mouse embryo to uncover the...
