Developing neurons connect in specific and stereotyped ways to form the complex circuits
that underlie brain function. By comparison to earlier steps in neural development, progress …

Among the many wonders of nature, the sense of smell of the fly Drosophila melanogaster
might seem, at first glance, of esoteric interest. Nevertheless, for over a century, the 'nose'of …

Ageing is a degenerative process that leads to tissue dysfunction and death. A proposed
cause of ageing is the accumulation of epigenetic noise that disrupts gene expression …

Many different functions are regulated by circadian rhythms, including those orchestrated by
discrete clock neurons within animal brains. To comprehensively characterize and assign …

Molecular interactions at the cellular interface mediate organized assembly of single cells
into tissues and, thus, govern the development and physiology of multicellular organisms …

Recognition of environmental cues is essential for the survival of all organisms.
Transcriptional changes occur to enable the generation and function of the neural circuits …

The pseudostratified olfactory epithelium (OE) may histologically appear relatively simple,
but the cytological relations among its cell types, especially those between olfactory receptor …

Single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating
cell states and functions at the single‐cell level. It has greatly revolutionized transcriptomic …

The evolutionary expansion of sensory neuron populations detecting important
environmental cues is widespread, but functionally enigmatic. We investigated this …

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes show strong innate attraction to humans. This
chemosensory behavior is critical to species survival because females require a blood-meal …
