CONVERSATIONS IN THE BRAIN: How neural progenitor cells control their own fate
Neurogenesis relies on a delicate balance between progenitor maintenance and neuronal production. Oscar Marin and colleagues find that the Robo1 and Robo2 receptors and their Slit protein ligands, kno...
Dynamic Facial Expressions of Emotion Transmit Hierarchical Information over Time
Facial expressions have evolved to be a near-optimal system of communication. Jack et al. show that dynamic facial expressions of emotion transmit a developing hierarchy of information over time. Earl...
How to Inflame Cancer Growth / Cell, July 13, 2017 (Vol. 170, Issue 2)
