Stable allele-specific epigenetic regulation creates cellular mosaicism of numerous autosomal dosage-sensitive genes involved in human neurological and developmental disorders.
Two families of ubiquitin ligases secreted by the intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila utilize distinct chemistries to form a stable, ubiquitin-rich structure around the vacuole, which is subsequently disassembled as infection progresses.

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.
Systematic characterization of terminating ribosomes uncovers sequence features influencing ribosome dynamics at stop codons with direct implications in 3' UTR translation.
Although auditory encoding of music is robust early in infancy, the transformation of this input into movement patterns develops substantially over the first postnatal year, without reaching full maturity.
