To make proteins, cells must export RNA from their carefully guarded nuclei. Researchers have determined the structure of one important component of the restrictive gate through which this cargo must pass, with implications for understanding disease.

Scientists prove how genetics change behavior by studying worms ’ foraging strategies
Like all animals, C. elegans worms pay attention to their peers and can adjust their behavior in response to competition. Neuroscientists have discovered a genetic component of this social phenomenon, providing concrete biological evidence for game theory. More » (Source: The Rockefeller University Newswire)

Researchers watch in 3D as neurons talk to each other in a living mouse brain
When the brain is at work, neurons talk rapidly to one another, forming networks. Using a new method based on so-called light sculpting, scientists have recorded the activity in these networks within three-dimensional sections of the brains of mice.

Genomic testing could speed research on skin disease and bring new drugs to patients faster
When a person suffering from psoriasis starts taking a new therapy, it can currently take months to assess if the drug is working. But according to a recent study, that process could be significantly sped up with genomic testing and analysis. More » (Source: The Rockefeller University Newswire)

A possible explanation for why male mice tolerate stress better than females
Rockefeller scientists have described a molecular mechanism that may explain in part why anxiety levels vary between the sexes. The research team identified a molecule that halts the action of a stress-inducing hormone—but it only does so in male mice. More » (Source: The Rockefeller University Newswire)

Study explains how an intestinal microbe protects against other, more dangerous bacteria
Working in animal models, scientists have found that an enzyme produced by one microbe can shield the gut against attack from other, more harmful bacteria. The findings could potentially inform the design of new probiotics for use against dangerous pathogens like those spreading hospital-acquired infections.

New research clarifies how cells take in cholesterol and offers insight on Ebola
Cholesterol is essential for human health, but getting too much of it can contribute to potentially fatal diseases. New research on the structure of two cholesterol-transporting proteins helps explain how cells use only the amount they need. It also offers new insights into the biology of Ebola.
