Exogenous attention is a rapid, involuntary mechanism that automatically reallocates processing resources toward salient stimuli. It enhances visual sensitivity in the vicinity of the salient stimulus ...

This valuable study provides solid evidence for deficits in aversive taste learning and taste coding in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorders. Specifically, the authors found that Shank3 knockout ...

BOAS is a platform for building multivalent viral protein immunogens without a scaffold, such as a nanoparticle, to elicit broad influenza vaccine responses.

Mouse embryo cells undergo apical-basal polarization asynchronously at the 8-cell stage, and the timing of polarization influences subsequent lineage allocation.

The bacterium that causes TB can hide in liver cells called hepatocytes, and reprogram their metabolism for its own benefit.

Picture your local lake covered with migrating geese, ducks or other waterfowl. Even though you don’t hear any coughing, you might well be witnessing ‘flu season’ for birds. Influenza viruses cause ...

The Major Histocompatibility Complex region evolves via gene birth-and-death, resulting in short-lived genes, rapidly expanding gene subfamilies, and many gene fragments.

Cryo-EM and electrophysiology reveal the mechanism of SK2 channel modulation by the bee toxin apamin and small molecules, providing insights that enable the rational design of targeted SK2 channel ...

Reducing vaccine development time from 12 months to 6 reduces forecasting error by 25%, while reducing lags in genome sequence submission reduces uncertainty of current clade frequencies by 50%.

This study presents a large, systematically curated catalog of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) in human and mouse by reanalyzing nearly 400 Ribo-seq datasets using a standardized pipeline; ...

A light–tone sensory preconditioning task in male mice is developed revealing sex differences and demonstrating that dorsal, but not ventral, hippocampal CaMKII-positive neurons encode innocuous ...
