Employing protein tagging, scientists identify interaction networks centered on the #p38 homolog PMK-1 in C. elegans that facilitate phenotypic plasticity during development, in several tissue types, and in response to stresses and aging. @UTSWMedCenter scim.ag/3QUnIAT

In this month's Editorial we discuss why basic research is the backbone of advances in medicine and improvements to the human condition - and that basic research needs essential support from government funding.

A species of comb jelly (Mnemiopsis leidyi) can age backward when stressed, reversing its development from a sexually mature life cycle stage to an earlier larval stage—a finding relevant to the study of aging and rejuvenation in animals. In PNAS: ow.ly/qRqQ50U1AtH
