Great insights into the development of brain asymmetry using the help of zebrafish. The differences between the left and right sides of the brain is a feature conserved across animal kingdom. Wonderful mechanistic analysis linking Wnt signalling and lateralized neuronal identity.

The gut microbiome influences metabolites, hormones and immune function

Perturbing gut microbiota therefore impacts homeostasis across somatic tissues

Could it also affect the reproductive system - and even offspring?

“into the insatiable curiosity that fueled his view of the world. Of science. Of snowflakes and fireflies. Of life. Distilling the complexities of biology to their fundamental elements is a talent that thrives in those who find wonder in the broader perspective.”
A great tribute.

Much to admire about legendary @MadhurJaffrey, her career & her life. Add also this beautiful essay, written at 90!

It starts in 1857 and will teach you about how tamarind got its name: 'Arab travellers referred to it as tamar-i-hind—the dates of India.'
