When you think of a robot, you likely picture one of three things: a drone, a robotic manipulator picking up goods from a factory conveyor belt, or an autonomous vehicle of some kind—perhaps a vacuum cleaner or a car. These three types of robots differ drastically in their body design and in the ways they…

Sex differences in neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative disease susceptibility may arise from sex chromosome and hormonal influences on cell type–specific gene expression. We present a single-cell transcriptomic analysis of adult human … Source link
Bacteria, like eukaryotes, use conserved cytoskeletal systems for intracellular organization. The plasmid-encoded ParMRC system forms actin-like filaments that segregate low–copy number plasmids. In multicellular cyanobacteria such as Anabaena sp., we … Source link
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects more than 10% of the global population, may continue to progress even after the triggering insult has resolved, suggesting the involvement of self-sustaining mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Here, we … Source link
The principles organizing cellular diversity and connectivity in primate brains remain elusive. By integrating spatial transcriptomics, magnetic resonance imaging, and retrograde labeling in marmosets, we identified two opposing molecular gradients that … Source link
Long-term in vivo production of therapeutic proteins and development of vaccines that elicit protective levels of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against major pathogens face challenges. In this study, we report on an alternative gene editing … Source link
Stem cells proliferate after injury to repair damaged tissue, and chronic injury can promote cancer. However, the injury-activated signals and regulatory mechanisms, and their relationship to cancer, are poorly understood. Here, we identified insulin-… Source link
Science, culture, and imagination are inextricable, argues a cosmologist Source link
Topological defects encode geometric features that morph living cell sheets into predictable structures Source link
