We utilized two complementary approaches to follow mitochondrial segregation during QL.p (and QL.pa) division in real time and at super resolution. In one set of experiments, we used a microfluidics-based immobilization system22 to image…

Phenotypic similarity of adverse drug reactions and disease phenotypes is a bridge to mechanistic discovery
Knowledge graph construction
We integrated data from several databases8,10,11,12,13,14 to investigate whether there is any common mechanism between ADRs and DPs that exhibit the same phenotypes. The mechanisms underlying many phenotypes can be…

Temporal coding carries more stable cortical visual representations than firing rate over time
Longitudinal tracking of hundreds of single units under diverse visual stimuli reveals tuning stability and drifts
Understanding visual representations and their longitudinal stability requires recording at multiple scales, encompassing individual…

Big data for classifying ASD
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is highly heterogeneous, in terms of both behavioral phenotypes and underlying genetic factors. In a recent paper in Nature Genetics, Litman, Sauerwald et al. examined phenotypic data extracted from standard…

Underground life on Mars? Cosmic rays could make it possible
A new study from NYU Abu Dhabi has found that high-energy particles from space, known as cosmic rays, could create the energy needed to support life underground on planets and moons in our solar system.
The research shows that cosmic rays may not…

Walking on Two Legs May Have Evolved in Trees, Not on the Ground
New research on chimpanzees living in the open woodlands of Tanzania suggests that the story of how humans learned to walk on two legs may need a rewrite. Despite their dry, savannah-mosaic environment, these chimpanzees still climb trees…
