An electron microscope view of phages duplicated inside bacterial cells that possess the immune system discovered in the new study. This immune system attaches a ubiquitin-like protein (marked by black dots and white arrows) to the tails of these phages, preventing them from infecting other bacterial cells

Why do we inherit only maternal mitochondria? A new study shows how the paternal versions are deliberately destroyed

Researchers used color-coded proteins to reveal the identity of the cells in the organoids they produced. In four organoids that simulate the embryo’s central nervous system, the magenta marks proteins associated with the development of the forebrain and the midbrain, the green, the hindbrain and the red, the center of the spinal cord
