   foxQ2 marks fast-acting interneurons including dopaminergic neurons of mushroom bodies and central complex in the beetle Tribolium castaneum

   Ying Pang, Bastian Klußmann-Fricke ... Gregor Bucher

   In insects, foxQ2 is part of the genetic code that specifies neurons contributing to the higher-order brain centers, including dopaminergic and other fast-acting neurons.

   Light-entrained chromatin priming poises rapid metamorphosis in a marine sponge

   Huifang Yuan, Oceane Blard ... Sandie M Degnan

   Planetary and habitat-specific environmental cues combine to induce rapid and extensive changes in chromatin state and gene expression necessary for larval settlement and metamorphosis in the marine sponge Amphimedon queenslandica.

   Integration of ATAC- and RNA-sequencing identifies chromatin and transcriptomic signatures in classical and non-classical zebrafish osteoblasts and indicates mechanisms of entpd5a regulation

   Kleio Petratou, Martin Stehling ... Stefan Schulte-Merker

   Computational analyses of large datasets and molecular dissection reveal the promoter organisation of the osteoblast marker entpd5a and suggest novel regulators of osteogenesis.

   Heterogeneous responses to embryonic critical period perturbations within the Drosophila larval locomotor circuit

   Niklas Krick, Jacob J Davies ... Matthias Landgraf

   Within the locomotor network of the Drosophila embryo, connected elements, from premotor interneuron to muscle, respond differentially to a critical period perturbation, suggesting a sequence of adjustment.

   Bruce suppresses autophagy-regulated caspase activity and wing tissue growth in Drosophila

   Natsuki Shinoda, Yutaro Hama ... Masayuki Miura

   The activity of Dcp-1, one of Drosophila executioner caspases, is selectively regulated by the autophagy–Bruce axis, which enables distinct non–lethal functions for promoting tissue growth independent of cell death.
