• Acanthamoeba castellanii offers a simplified model for density-driven cell migration

  New York | Heidelberg, 24 July 2025
  New analysis reveals that the motion of this unicellular amoeba is governed solely by cell–cell collisions, providing a useful model for isolating the effects of density on migration

• Functional brain networks disrupted in major depression

  New York | Heidelberg, 23 July 2025
  A detailed analysis of functional brain networks from individuals with and without major depressive disorder using graph theory has revealed subtle but significant differences between these groups that could aid early diagnosis of this devastating condition.

• Uncovering the magnetic responses of anisotropic semimetals

  New York | Heidelberg, 15 July 2025
  Calculations show that magnetic fields can alter the responses of anisotropic 2D semimetals to electric fields and temperature gradients – but only when applied perpendicular to the material’s plane
