A @Nature study from the #RutaLab reveals how fruit flies store a #memory of how to relocate a #scent, even after it disappears. It depends a #brain region used by insects for #spatialnavigation, showing that odor tracking is not simply reflexive.

Geneticist J. Craig Venter, best known for his role in sequencing the human genome, has died aged 79.
He spoke to Nature in 2023 about AI, sequencing the ocean – and why he had no plans to stop working.

Face of a fruit fly that helped #HHMIInvestigator Amita Sehgal & team uncover how sleep acts as "cellular housekeeper," keeping neurons healthy (and more) — findings that could drive a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s: bit.ly/3ZKNFnK.

Why do the brain’s professional phagocytes stop clearing amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease? Can we restore microglial superpowers & rescue dying neurons in AD? YES, by stopping DGAT2-mediated lipid droplet formation! Check out our manuscript @ImmunityCP 👇🏼

A baby named KJ, who was born with a rare genetic disorder – CPS1 deficiency – is healed thanks to doctors at the @ChildrensPhila who administered the world’s first personalized gene-editing treatment. The research team used base editing, a gene-editing method invented by HHMI Investigator @davidrliu and his lab at @Harvard University in 2016.
Earlier this year, Liu received the @brkthroughprize for developing both base editing and prime editing. These gene-editing technologies enable the correction or replacement of virtually any genetic mutation, including those that cause countless human genetic diseases.
