Altering the rate of respiration in mitochondria changes how fast neurons grow, making mouse neurons grow more like human ones and vice versa, a study finds.

The first high-quality genome for a marine isopod may shed light on how this group of crustaceans adapted to the deep, dark depths of the ocean.

A new study has identified a molecular tradeoff between growth and immunity in moths in response to the administration of subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics, a common practice in animal husbandry.

A study finds that fast-growing species are stymied by narrow gaps, while slower-growing species can pass through and continue extending.

A study finds that slower-growing species are better able to adjust their growth to fit their hyphae through narrow passages.

A zinc-sensing protein found in fruit fly intestines regulates the insect’s growth and feeding behavior.

Researchers examine the effects on the fruit fly intestine of the protein responsible for Fragile X syndrome in humans.
