    RNA fusion in human retinal development

    Wen Wang, Xiao Zhang ... Zi-Bing Jin
    Chimeric RNAs are widely distributed spatiotemporally during human retinal development and have important regulatory functions, such as silencing of CTNNBIP1-CLSTN1 biasing the progenitor cells toward the RPE cell fate at the expense of neural retinal cell fates.

    Delta-dependent Notch activation closes the early neuroblast temporal program to promote lineage progression and neurogenesis termination in Drosophila

    Chhavi Sood, Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid ... Sarah E Siegrist
    Notch signaling regulates the neuroblast intrinsic temporal program to determine when neuroblasts terminate their cell divisions during development.

    A TOPBP1 allele causing male infertility uncouples XY silencing dynamics from sex body formation

    Carolline Ascenção, Jennie R Sims ... Marcus B Smolka
    A Topbp1 mutant mouse reveals a non-canonical role for the ATR-TOPBP1 signaling axis in meiosis, separating ATR signaling and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation from sex body formation.

    Noncanonical usage of stop codons in ciliates expands proteins with structurally flexible Q-rich motifs

    Chi-Ning Chuang, Hou-Cheng Liu ... Ting-Fang Wang
    Noncanonical usage of stop codons in ciliates expands structurally flexible Q-rich domains and coevolves with codon usage biases to avoid triplet repeat disorders mediated by CAG/GTC replication slippage.

    Piezo1 mechanosensing regulates integrin-dependent chemotactic migration in human T cells

    Chinky Shiu Chen Liu, Tithi Mandal ... Dipyaman Ganguly
    A hitherto unknown role of Piezo1 mechanosensors in chemotactic migration of human T cells is identified, linking focal adhesion formation to integrin recruitment.

    The differential regulation of placenta trophoblast bisphosphoglycerate mutase in fetal growth restriction: preclinical study in mice and observational histological study of human placenta

    Sima Stroganov, Talia Harris ... Michal Neeman
    Expression of Bisphosphoglycerate mutase, a key enzyme affecting the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, is augmented in the murine placenta challenged by gestational hypoxia in mice while its expression is attenuated in placenta of human FGR.

    High-resolution kinetics of herbivore-induced plant volatile transfer reveal clocked response patterns in neighboring plants

    Jamie Mitchel Waterman, Tristan Michael Cofer ... Matthias Erb
    Real-time volatile emission kinetics reveal stress volatiles emitted from herbivore-damaged plants can sequentially prime and induce defense responses in undamaged plants following distinct temporal patterns.
