Atlanta, GA, USA. Compressed sensing has provided super-resolution plus faster temporal resolution, resulting in a clear picture of a single cellular structure in motion.

Despite many achievements in the field of super-resolution microscopy in the past few years with spatial resolution advances, live-cell imaging has been challenging because of the need for high temporal resolution.

Oslo, Norway. Our most remote relative lives down in the sludge bottom of a little lake south of Oslo in Norway and represents a previously unknown branch of the tree of life.

Biologists worldwide have eagerly awaited the results of the genetic analysis of a very rare micro-organism, one of the world's smallest known species (hereafter called the protozoan) that may provide insights into what life looked like on earth almost one thousand million years ago.

New York, NY, USA. New mechanisms that control protein expression in different regions of embryos shed additional insight into how physical traits are arranged in body plans.

The findings, which appear in the journal Cell, call for reconsideration of morphogen theory, which posits that proteins controlling traits are arranged as gradients, with different amounts of proteins activating genes to create specified physical features.

Paducah, KY, USA. The need for more information about prescription drug abuse is beyond dispute, but deciding who should have access to such information is a divisive issue.

Dr. Shawn Jones, an ear, nose and throat surgeon in Paducah, Kentucky, was conducting a routine office appointment when he got a phone call from a worried pharmacist. The pharmacist had just received a prescription from Jones for 90 Percocet pain pills, an unusually large order for a doctor who rarely prescribes more than 2

New York, NY, USA. Ninety percent of every mammal's genome is dark matter harboring ancient viral DNA that infected our ancestors from as far back as the age of the dinosaurs.

Scientists have uncovered clues as to how our genomes became riddled with viruses, revealing important new information.
