Cell biology and evolutionary medicine. Professor Sir Paul Nurse (Rockefeller University, New York, USA). Summary: Darwins ideas of the tree of life and natural selection continue to inform medicine and biomedical research. For example, the single tree of life means that model organisms from bacteria to mice can be recruited to better understand human health and disease, whilst natural selection

These tiny oil droplets may hold a key to a new mechanism that drives the development of shapes and forms in nature, a process known as morphogenesis. When the droplets are slowly frozen, they shift through a range of different shapes. This shape-shifting is driven by a wax-like layer that forms beneath the surface of the droplets, suggesting that complex morphogenesis may be controlled by the

Folic acid deficiency can cause severe health problems in offspring, including spina bifida, heart defects and placental abnormalities. A study out today reveals that a mutation in a gene necessary for the metabolism of folic acid not only impacts the immediate offspring but can also have detrimental health effects on the next several generations. The new research, which also sheds light on the
