Scientists unlock shape-shifting living tissue, programming cells to fold flat sheets into precise 3D forms

Biological tissues have a remarkable ability to organize and change shape, driven by forces generated by their own cells. One ...

The Sonoran Desert teems with wildlife. These 3D scans could help protect its future

Lidar scanners — the same tech that allows self-driving cars to create 3D maps of their environments — had been capturing the ...

Serotonergic modulation of motor subspace dynamics drives a sleep-independent quiescent state

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) serotonergic (5-HT) system has been implicated in regulating sleep and motor control; however, its specific role remains controversial. In this study, we found that ...

Distinct allosteric remodeling of HIV-1 Env dynamics on virions by gp41-directed antibodies reveals two modes of neutralization

HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env), a gp120–gp41 trimer, undergoes coordinated conformational changes that drive membrane fusion and allow immune evasion by transiently concealing ...
