This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

This study presents a valuable open-source and cost-effective method for automating the quantification of male aggression and courtship in Drosophila melanogaster. The work as presented provides solid ...

These findings demonstrate that the capsular serotype and genetic background significantly impact pneumococcal growth kinetics. The resultant growth features likely depend on the interaction between ...

This important research addresses the effects of subjective control and task difficulty on experienced stress using a novel behavioral task in two, large online samples. Convincing evidence is ...

Researchers have characterised how dying, or necrotic, cells contribute to the body’s regeneration process, with potential implications for wound and tissue repair.

This potentially important model-based study seeks to mimic bat echolocation behavior and flight under high-density conditions. The simulations convincingly suggest that the problem of acoustic ...

Methods: To study accessibility and reproducibility in cardiovascular research reporting, we screened 639 randomly selected articles published in 2019 in three top cardiovascular science publications: ...

A new study has revealed how hunger influences dietary decisions by shifting attention towards tastier, but less healthy, food options.

New results help address a longstanding debate regarding which learning strategies allow animals to anticipate negative events based on past associations between sensory stimuli.

Anti-science policies, funding cuts, scientific censorship and the US withdrawing from international commitments are worrying members of the ReForm Lab at the College of William & Mary.

A Congressional Science & Technology policy fellow outlines some options available for responding to the blatant attacks on science and the scientific workforce in the US.
