Flexible nano-sized tubules that self-assemble could be a step forward for dynamic nanostructures and perhaps drug delivery.

Researchers find that photoreceptors expressed in zebrafish hypothalamus contribute to light-dependent behavior.

Researchers show that DNA supercoils are dynamic structures that can “hop” long distances, a phenomenon that could affect gene regulation.

Researchers measure scientific output to determine if past success predicts future productivity.

Researchers use characteristic differences in eye movements to identify patients with deficits in neurological function.

Scientists hope an understanding of nerve fibers responsive only to gentle touch will give insight into the role the sense plays in social bonding.

Researchers help define the limits of electroreception in a weakly electric fish, showing that this sense may be more akin to touch than vision.

The latest news from a long-term study of calorie restriction in rhesus macaques shows better health, but no boost in lifespan, in monkeys who eat less.

Researchers show that blood spotted onto Guthrie cards, usually at birth, can be a high quality source of methylated DNA for long-term epigenetic studies.

Researchers identify a nerve growth factor in semen that stimulates ovulation in certain mammals, and which could shed light on human infertility.

A small molecule that inhibits a protein important for chromatin organization can cause reversible sterility in male mice.

A strategy to transmit signals to retinal nerve cells may show promise as a step toward alternative retinal prosthesis design.
