Satellites of the Golgi apparatus generate the microtubules used to grow outer dendrite branches in Drosophila neurons.
Microarrays help keep induced pluripotent stem cell lines in check, from start to finish.
Flies turning blue help researchers link the deterioration of the intestinal barrier to age-related death.
Computer programs that trawl research papers can reveal important large-scale patterns and facilitate further research, but publishers are wary.
Drosophila insulin-like peptides (dILPs) regulate part of the signaling pathway that helps keep organs growing in proportion during development.
Although fully organized patient-run trials are still few and far between, patients are taking a more active role in clinical research.
