Probing Nature pub's puzzling claim of brain cells globetrotting into prostate tumors
A new Nature paper makes the striking claim that neural precursor cells of the brain migrate all the way to prostate tumors. Furthermore, the team led by Claire Magnon claims that these long-distance cellular travelers from the brain not only [...]
Bedbugs Evolved before Their Bat Hosts and Did Not Co-speciate with Ancient Humans
Using a fossil-dated phylogeny, Roth et al. show the bedbug family evolved 30+ Ma
before bats, their previously assumed hosts. Bats, birds, and humans were each colonized
several times. The tropical and common bedbug split 47 mya, rejecting...

Systematic evasion of the restriction-modification barrier in bacteria
Genetic engineering is a powerful approach for discovering fundamental aspects of bacterial physiology, metabolism, and pathogenesis as well as for harnessing the capabilities of bacteria for human use. However, the full power of genetic engineering...
Direct imaging of the circular chromosome in a live bacterium
Bacterial chromosomes are tightly packed, limiting structural analysis by imaging techniques. Here, by quantitative time-lapse single-cell imaging of widened Escherichia coli cells, Wu and Japaridze et al. show that the chromosome exhibits a...
