A human-cell experiment separates moving, squeezing and sensing. Its most useful result may be the boundary: a temporary change in surveillance behaviour is not whole-body immune rejuvenation.
Ankyrin-B loss produces different outcomes in fed, fasted and high-fat-diet settings. Our comparison keeps metabolic protection beside the cost of mobilising fuel in the cold.
Lowering SLITRK2 improves selected axonal and neuromuscular readouts in FUS-ALS cell models. The useful distinction is between a functional rescue and a complete reversal of disease.
A tunable three-dimensional matrix delays budding without a large matching molecular signature. Our guide explains why a quiet bulk RNA result does not mean that nothing happened.
Downstream RNA can be a target for antisense oligonucleotides. Our guide examines a potential source of unintended effects and the evidence needed to explain a fall in gene output.
Simulations, NMR and biochemical experiments probe a transient regulatory pocket. Our guide keeps a predicted movement, an observed structural response and a cleavage measurement separate.
CROSS replaces the mouse X chromosome with a rat counterpart. The useful lesson is the difference between keeping DNA intact, regulating it correctly and supporting development.
A new single-cell method connects a genetic change with the RNA response around it. Our reading guide examines coverage, comparison labels and the gap between a functional score and a diagnosis.

Understanding evidence
Genetic lineage tracing and follicle perturbations in mice
A genetic label follows an activated oocyte cohort through time. We unpack persistence, developmental competence and the denominator behind a striking ovarian finding.

GO BEYOND THE HEADLINE
The claim. The measurement. The missing link.
