Researchers find explanation for rapid maturation of neurons at birth
At the moment a newborn switches from amniotic fluid to breathing air, another profound shift occurs: nerve cells in the brain convert from hyperexcitability to a calm frame against which outside signals can be detected.

The evolution of gene regulation: How microbial neighbors settle differences
Supply and demand could be a governing principle even at the genetic level, because most genes are only expressed when needed. Biologists at the Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universitat in Munich, Germany, show that in microbes evolutionary ...

Engineered, drug-secreting blood vessels reverse anemia in mice
Patients who rely on recombinant, protein-based drugs must often endure frequent injections, often several times a week, or intravenous therapy. Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston demonstrate the possibility that blood ...

The battle of the morphogens: How to get ahead in the nervous system
If you think today's political rhetoric is overheated, imagine what goes on inside a vertebrate embryo. There, two armies whose agendas are poles apart, engage in a battle with consequences much more dire ...

Role of gene regulator in skeletal muscles demonstrated
Fast muscles, such as the thigh muscle in a sprinter, deliver energy quickly but fatigue quickly. Slow muscles, such as the soleus muscle in the lower calf, are less forceful but important for posture and endurance. Researchers ...
