Pioneering activity may be a property of all transcription factors with sufficient affinity for their targets rather than a property of specific classes of transcription factors.

Genetic analysis and biochemical approaches reveal that chemorefractory properties are reversed by inhibiting mucin secretion, thus providing a means to curb the growth and spread of colorectal cancer.

A brain MRI imaging study on brain and manual lateralisation in 50 baboons shows that communicative manual gesturing is related to a Broca's area marker.

Development of imaging methods to capture neural activity and structure through the intact cuticle using 2-photon and 3-photon excitation in the genetic model organism, Drosophila melanogaster.

Developmental genetics of sea anemone mechanosensory neurons provides insights into the deep evolutionary history of mechanoreceptor development in animals.

An induced pluripotent stem-cell-based, human heart and lung co-differentiation model reveals their shared signaling requirement and enables investigation of their developmental mutual interaction and tissue boundary formation.

The Spike gene expressed by the vector-based vaccine Vaxzevria bears the risk of cryptic splicing, which in turn may lead to cellular production of soluble, instead of membrane-anchored, Spike protein variants.

Double-stranded precursors of siRNAs involved in RNA-directed DNA methylation have initiating sequences and overhangs imparted by the RNA polymerases that synthesize them, programming alternative dicing reactions that diversify the siRNA pool.

Meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation require the establishment of chromatin boundaries by the acetyltransferase Eco1, which anchors both chromatin loops and cohesion.

A computational model of the initial visual encoding together with Bayesian image reconstruction quantifies how that encoding, combined with the statistical regularities of natural images, shapes key aspects of visual perception.
