   A visual pathway for skylight polarization processing in Drosophila

   Ben J Hardcastle et al.

   Circuit tracing and in vivo calcium imaging reveals neurons conveying polarized light information from photoreceptors to the central brain, transforming patterns in the sky into a directional cue for navigation.

   Discovery and characterization of a novel family of prokaryotic nanocompartments involved in sulfur metabolism

   Robert J Nichols et al.

   A protein-bounded organelle-like compartment from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is upregulated under sulfur starvation and contains a cysteine desulfurase cargo enzyme.

   Generic injuries are sufficient to induce ectopic Wnt organizers in Hydra

   Jack F Cazet et al.

   Injuries activate the oral identity-specifying canonical Wnt signaling pathway in Hydra, which can trigger head regeneration in permissive tissue contexts created by the absence of pre-existing organizers.

   SARS-CoV-2 suppresses anticoagulant and fibrinolytic gene expression in the lung

   Alan E Mast et al.

   Transcription changes in cells taken from bronchoalveolar fluid of COVID-19 patients indicate severe disruption of coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways in the lung and suggest similar processes in other organs.
