The breakdown of glutamine is an important metabolic pathway for the health and survival of rod photoreceptors within the retina.

The reported cryo-EM imaging of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel in liposomes as opposed to nanodiscs has both broad implications and contributes valuable methodological advances to the ...

Nearly half of sequencing data labeled as endometriosis lacks true disease representation, highlighting the urgent need for more diverse and accurate tissue sampling to advance research in this ...

This important study provides evidence for asymptomatic Bordetella pertussis carriage among mothers in a longitudinal cohort in Zambia, significantly advancing understanding of transmission dynamics.

Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

Viral-mediated Oct4 overexpression induces direct conversion of wildtype mammalian Müller glia to bipolar neurons, and this process is synergistically enhanced by loss of Notch signaling.

Life has been announced as a winner in the first Crossref Metadata Awards, recognising its commitment to high-quality ...

This important study provides insights into the role of maternal behavior in the learning and ontogeny of vocalization. It finds evidence that the maternal behavior of sac-winged bats (Saccopteryx ...
