Figure360: Trends in Plant Science, Weber et al., Higher eukaryotes typically contain many different cell types, displaying different cellular functions that are influenced by biotic and abiotic cues....
Extrinsic Cues in Neuronal Polarity - Is the site of axon emergence determined by intrinsic neuronal polarity or the local environment? Bill Harris and colleagues have found that laminin at the basal ...
Andres Hidalgo and colleagues discover that the clearance of aged neutrophils from the circulation by macrophages in the bone marrow is coupled to the systemic egress of hematopoietic precursors from ...
Signal Spreading from a Single Synapse. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience revealed signal spreading during structural plasticity of dendritic spines using new biosensors....
How do oil and other toxins move from deep water onto the beach? Using dye and drones, a team of scientists conduct a series of experiments to explore how ocean currents transport material from offsho...
A Conserved Dedicated Olfactory Circuit for Detecting Harmful Microbes in Drosophila
Marcus Stensmyr and colleagues explain how they discovered a brain circuit that signals disgust to rotten food in fruit flies, helping the flies to sniff out and avoid harmful environments....
Neuronal Microcircuits Underlying Spatial Cognition - The functional microcircuits underlying spatial representations in medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) have not been described. Through their discovery...
