The Kavli Foundation and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) have announced the latest recipients of funding under their joint initiative to explore how nervous systems function and evolve in dynamic natural environments. These projects will study how brains adapt to a changing world—linking genes, cells, behavior & ecosystems. This marks a continued commitment to supporting bold, interdisciplinary research at the intersection of neuroscience, biology, and ecology.

The study reveals that Migrion, a chimeric structure of virus and migrasome as an unprecedented unit of viral transmission that integrates viral dissemination with cell migration, providing fresh perspectives on infection dynamics.

A new Genomic Press interview explores Professor Siegfried Kasper's transformative contributions to modern psychiatry and treatment-resistant depression research. The Austrian psychiatrist, with over 800 publications and an H-index of 131, discusses his pioneering work demonstrating the biological basis of psychiatric disorders and revolutionizing treatments including SSRIs and intranasal esketamine. His research has fundamentally changed how the international medical community approaches depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders.

Researchers from The University of Osaka have found that they can keep mouse uterine tissue alive outside of the body, allowing them to directly observe embryonic implantation and development. Their technique brings hope for patients with infertility, and may allow for the development of therapies to treat recurrent implantation failure and improve the chance of implantation success using assisted reproductive technologies.Researchers from The University of Osaka have found that they can keep mouse uterine tissue alive outside of the body, allowing them to directly observe embryonic implantation and development.
