Analysis of data across many different studies shows that children's word recognition improves continuously from infancy through age 5 years, and shows strong coupling with early vocabulary.
Systematic characterization of terminating ribosomes uncovers sequence features influencing ribosome dynamics at stop codons with direct implications in 3' UTR translation.

A method for arrayed CRISPRi screening in organoids enables the investigation of morphogenesis in human stem cell-derived tissues, revealing the roles of ZIC2, SOX11, and ZNF521 in neural tube closure.
Gaseous CO2 acts as a neuron to glia messenger in peripheral myelin to trigger opening of Schwann Cell Cx32 hemichannels in response to axonal action potential propagation.
Genetic experiments integrated with ChIP-sequencing and CRISPR interference reveal that overexpression of Foxc1 transcriptionally activates the expression of Arhgap36 and dysregulates multiple facets of Hedgehog pathway activity.
