   Drosophila hamlet mediates epithelial tissue assembly of the reproductive system

   Huazhen Wang, Ludivine Bertonnier-Brouty ... Qi Dai

   Hamlet regulates heterotypic epithelial fusion by controlling spatial and temporal expression of known and novel epithelial regulators like Wnt and Tl pathway components, a mechanism potentially conserved through evolution.

   Competence for transcellular infection in the root cortex involves a post-replicative, cell-cycle exit decision in Medicago truncatula

   Morgane Batzenschlager, Beatrice Lace ... Thomas Ott

   Imaging deep root tissues with a combination of cell-cycle reporters reveals that a cortical cell file traversed by symbiotic bacteria exhibits reduced proliferative potential and enters a prolonged G2 phase.

   Multifaceted role of galanin in brain excitability

   Nicolas N Rieser, Milena Ronchetti ... Stephan CF Neuhauss

   The neuropeptide galanin modulates whole-brain activity and stress responses in zebrafish, revealing a complex, receptor-dependent role in seizure regulation with implications for epilepsy, and related neurological disorders.

   Cestode larvae excite host neuronal circuits via glutamatergic signalling

   Anja de Lange, Hayley Tomes ... Joseph V Raimondo

   Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.
