    A human forebrain organoid model reveals the essential function of GTF2IRD1-TTR-ERK axis for the neurodevelopmental deficits of Williams syndrome

    Xingsen Zhao, Qihang Sun ... Xuekun Li
    Studies with mice and brain organoids models reveals that dysregulation of GTF2IRD1-TTR-ERK pathway significantly contributes to neuronal deficits of Williams syndrome.

    Caspar specifies primordial germ cell count and identity in Drosophila melanogaster

    Subhradip Das, Sushmitha Hegde ... Girish S Ratnaparkhi
    During Drosophila primordial germ cells (PGCs) specification, the centrosome and germplasm are subject to regulation, during the maternal zygotic transition, by Caspar/TER94-dependent degradative pathways that influence PGC determinants.

    Projection neurons are necessary for the maintenance of the mouse olfactory circuit

    Luis Sánchez-Guardado, Peyman Razavi ... Carlos Lois
    Ablation of olfactory projection neurons in adult mice triggers sprouting of the apical dendrite of remaining neurons towards multiple nearby glomeruli and disrupts the odor map.

    Genetic inactivation of zinc transporter SLC39A5 improves liver function and hyperglycemia in obesogenic settings

    Shek Man Chim, Kristen Howell ... Regeneron Genetics Center
    Loss of the Zinc transporter SLC39A5 protects from obesity-driven hyperglycemia and liver pathology.

    Single-cell transcriptomics of vomeronasal neuroepithelium reveals a differential endoplasmic reticulum environment amongst neuronal subtypes

    GVS Devakinandan, Mark Terasaki, Adish Dani
    Developmental specialization of vomeronasal sensory neurons involves selective upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum genes in a subset of neurons along with a hypertrophic gyroid membrane architecture.

    Key epigenetic and signaling factors in the formation and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier

    Jayanarayanan Sadanandan, Sithara Thomas ... Peeyush Kumar T
    Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) and polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) control endothelial gene expression for BBB development and prevented Wnt/β-catenin target genes from being expressed in adult CNS ECs.

    Marcks and Marcks-like 1 proteins promote spinal cord development and regeneration in Xenopus

    Mohamed El Amri, Abhay Pandit, Gerhard Schlosser
    Marcks and Marcks-like 1 proteins are required for normal neurite formation and proliferation of neuro-glial progenitors during development and regeneration of the Xenopus spinal cord implicating these proteins as critical new factors for spinal cord development and regeneration.

    The evolutionary history of the ancient weevil family Belidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) reveals the marks of Gondwana breakup and major floristic turnovers, including the rise of angiosperms

    Xuankun Li, Adriana E Marvaldi ... Duane D McKenna
    The evolutionary trajectory of phytophagous weevils reveals how ancient host plant shifts and continental drift influenced the development of diverse insect-plant interactions through time.

    Evaluation of clonal hematopoiesis and mosaic loss of Y chromosome in cardiovascular risk: An analysis in prospective studies

    Sami Fawaz, Severine Marti ... Thierry Couffinhal
    If CHIP and mLOY do not significantly contribute to inflammation, atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction risk independently, CHIP may increase the risk of MI in men who do not carry mLOY.

    A systematic review and meta-analysis of eyespot anti-predator mechanisms

    Ayumi Mizuno, Malgorzata Lagisz ... Shinichi Nakagawa
    The efficacy of eyespots in deterring avian predators is more due to their conspicuousness rather than their resemblance to eyes.
