  • A computational model of odour plume propagation and experimental data are used to devise a general search algorithm for movement strategies in chemotaxis, based on sporadic cues and partial information. The strategy is termed 'infotaxis' as it locally maximizes the expected rate of information gain.

  • Early positioning of the embryo nuclei is not well understood. Now, experiments show that the orientation of the mitotic spindle is controlled by topological interactions, which determine whether the nucleus remains inside the Drosophila embryo.

  • Odor blends contain molecules that activate unique, overlapping populations of sensory neurons (OSNs). Here, by imaging OSN axon terminals, as well as their cell bodies within the olfactory epithelium, the authors find widespread antagonistic interactions in binary and complex odor mixtures.

  • Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for severe food-borne infections. The first global comparative transcriptome analysis of this species reveals successive and coordinated global transcriptional changes during infection and points to previously unknown regulatory mechanisms in bacteria.
