As living fossils, lampreys, such as this Far Eastern brook, provide an irreplaceable model for reconstructing the ancestral vertebrate brain.
The first single-cell three-dimensional lamprey brain atlas reveals that the vertebrate common ancestor (~500 million years ago) already had a highly regionalized brain, and subsequent neuronal specialization likely drove vertebrate brain diversification.

Could the folding of synthetic gene circuits in 3D shape how genes are expressed? Today @ScienceMagazine we report on the role of gene syntax in shaping feedback between transcriptional activity and genome folding for advanced circuit design🧵 (1/n)
Aging may feel gradual… but what if it’s not?
In our paper out today, we tracked fish continuously from puberty until death.
This gave us a unique view of how aging unfolds across the adult lifespan.
