    Npr3 regulates neural crest and cranial placode progenitors formation through its dual function as clearance and signaling receptor

    Arun Devotta, Hugo Juraver-Geslin ... Jean-Pierre Saint-Jeannet
    A combination of morpholino-based knockdowns, pharmacological inhibitors, and rescue assays reveal a novel role for natriuretic peptide signaling in the regulation of cell fates in the embryonic ectoderm.

    Predictive nonlinear modeling of malignant myelopoiesis and tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy

    Jonathan Rodriguez, Abdon Iniguez ... Richard A Van Etten
    A physiological mathematical model of chronic myeloid leukemia, validated by experiments in transgenic mice and clinical data, identifies mechanisms underlying the response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, predicts biomarkers of primary resistance, and suggests new strategies to improve treatment outcomes.

    Sex, strain, and lateral differences in brain cytoarchitecture across a large mouse population

    David Elkind, Hannah Hochgerner ... Amit Zeisel
    Across individuals of a mouse population, brain regions volumes scaled to accommodate the same amount of cells, but left hemisphere cortical regions were denser than right, and several regions of the limbic system were more pronounced in either sex.

    Tiered sympathetic control of cardiac function revealed by viral tracing and single cell transcriptome profiling

    Sachin Sharma, Russell Littman ... Olujimi A Ajijola
    Cardiac-specific neurons residing in stellate ganglia comprised of three subsets of neurons based upon their transcriptomic and neurochemical properties and modulates cardiac sympathetic control.

    Ultrafast (400 Hz) network oscillations induced in mouse barrel cortex by optogenetic activation of thalamocortical axons

    Hang Hu, Rachel E Hostetler, Ariel Agmon
    Brief optogenetic stimulation of thalamocortical axons evoked a 400 Hz wavelet, 'ripplet,' in the extracellular field potential in cortical layer 4, together with phase-locked spike bursts in fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons and alternating excitatory and inhibitory synaptic currents in excitatory cells.
