    Single-cell lineage tracing identifies hemogenic endothelial cells in the adult mouse bone marrow

    Jing-Xin Feng, Mei-Ting Yang ... Giovanna Tosato
    Single-cell and bulk lineage tracing reveals that adult bone marrow endothelial cells generate functional hematopoietic progenitor and mature blood cells, expanding the cell sources of postnatal hematopoiesis.

    AFD thermosensory neurons mediate tactile-dependent locomotion modulation in C. elegans

    Manuel Rosero, Jihong Bai
    The thermosensory neuron AFD unexpectedly modulates locomotion based on tactile experience through molecular and circuit mechanisms distinct from those underlying thermosensation.

    B cell expression of an enzymatic intermediary in ether lipid biosynthesis promotes antibody responses and germinal center size

    Sung Hoon Cho, Marissa A Jones ... Mark R Boothby
    Genetic experiments combined with cellular and biochemical analyses including lipidomics performed by imaging mass spectrometry reveal that the capacity of mature B lymphocytes and germinal center B cells to synthesize some ether phospholipids is vital for normal humoral responses.

    The dual molecular identity of vestibular kinocilia bridges structural and functional traits of primary and motile cilia

    Zhanhong Xu, Amirrasoul Tavakoli ... David Z He
    The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

    Colony demographics shape nest construction in Camponotus fellah ants

    Harikrishnan Rajendran, Roi Weinberger ... Ofer Feinerman
    The architecture of an ant nest serves as a fossilized record of the colony's demographic history, with distinct growth patterns and catastrophic events through age-specific digging behaviors.
