Using iPSCs as a model to study neurodevelopmental differences between human and nonhuman primates lays the groundwork for understanding aspects of human brain evolution and neurological disease susceptibility.

Axonemal dynein light intermediate polypeptide 1 is required for sperm formation and male fertility through association with MEIG1/PACRG complex in the manchette, involvement in a cargo transport system, intraflagellar transport, and sperm individualization.

The minus-ends of microtubules have been implicated as part of a damage sensor to initiate remodeling of nerve cells.

Experiments and mathematical modelling show that rare nitrogen fixing symbionts invade a population dominated by non-fixing bacteria across plant generations, above a threshold of a combination of ecological factors.

An improved culture method for explanted adult Drosophila organs allows the live-imaging of damage response, cell differentiation, and tracing of progenitor cell lineages through multiple rounds of division.

A panel of chimpanzee induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) will help realise the potential of iPSCs in primate studies, and in combination with genomic technologies, transform studies of comparative evolution.

Cylicin 1 and Cylicin 2 are essential components of the sperm perinuclear theca and their loss results in impaired spermiogenesis and thus in infertility in mice and men.

Characterisation of SARS-CoV-2 genomic divergence in healthcare-associated outbreaks demonstrates that the inclusion of healthcare workers in contact networks identifies additional links in SARS-CoV-2 transmission pathways.

The activin ligand myoglianin acts as a temporal extrinsic cue to regulate the intrinsic temporal factor Imp in mushroom body neuroblasts, increasing neuronal diversity by specifying the α’β’ fate.
