Unlocking the blood-nerve barrier to facilitate drug delivery
A UCL-led research team has opened and closed the blood-nerve barrier for the first time and used it to deliver drugs to target tissues. The Medical Research Council and Cancer Research UK-funded research, published in Developmental Cell , has the potential to both deliver tumour-killing drugs to the nervous system, and also prevent side effects from chemotherapy that result from damage to the peripheral nervous system.

Analysis: DNA study opens a window into African civilisations that left a lasting legacy
PhD candidate Nancy Bird (UCL Genetics Institute) describes in The Conversation how her genetics research reveals evidence of the migrations of ancient people across Africa, and other major events of the past, embedded in the genomes of today's inhabitants. Pre-colonial African history is alive with tales of civilisations rising and falling and of different cultures intermingling across the continent.

Speaking up for the annoying fruit fly
Andreas Prokop , University of Manchester Fruit flies can be truly annoying when they are buzzing around your living room or landing in your wine. But we have much to thank these tiny nuisances for - they revolutionised biological and medical science. Flies and mosquitoes both belong to Diptera , the group of insects that have only two wings (from the Greek meaning two and pteron meaning wing).

Rosalind Franklin’s contribution to the discovery of DNA structure highlighted
A previously overlooked letter and a news article that was never published, both written in 1953, add to other lines of evidence showing Rosalind Franklin was an equal contributor - not a victim - in the discovery of DNA's structure. Matthew Cobb, from The University of Manchester and Nathaniel Comfort from the John Hopkins University School of Medicine make the case for the scientist in a comment article in this week's Nature.
