Understanding how morphogens promote three-dimensional patterning is an important issue in developmental biology. Recently, new insights have been gained into the mechanisms by which the Drosophila ...

Denoising diffusion models embody a type of generative artificial intelligence that can be applied in computer vision, natural language processing and bioinformatics. In this Review, we introduce the ...

Sticky spots on cell membranes hold onto the master regulator of cell polarity, helping to ensure that the regulatory protein accumulates in high enough concentrations to trigger cell polarity. Over ...

The American Biology Teacher, a nationally recognized journal, offers articles on recent advances in biology and life science, instructional activities for the classroom and laboratory, and ...

This paper seeks to identify the factors which have the greatest effect on gas diffusion rates into animal burrows, and in turn on the maximum size of burrowing animals which may rely on simple burrow ...

Calmodulin (CaM) activation in the vicinity of Ca2+ influxes relates inversely to the diffusion coefficient of CaM itself Calmodulin diffusing within the local area, the “local CaM diffusion system”, ...

Two groups have announced powerful new generative models that can design new proteins on demand not seen in nature. The explosion in text-to-image AI models like OpenAI’s DALL-E 2—programs trained to ...
