    Class A scavenger receptor MARCO negatively regulates Ace expression and aldosterone production

    Conan JO O'Brien, Giorgio Ratti ... Ana I Domingos
    Loss of class A scavenger receptor MARCO results in elevated lung Ace expression and elevated plasma aldosterone concentrations in male mice, demonstrating an endocrine function of this immune scavenger receptor.

    Cryptovaranoides is not a squamate

    Michael W Caldwell, Chase D Brownstein ... Tiago R Simões
    Claims for a Triassic-aged crown lizard merit detailed reanalysis, the results of which find that Cryptovaranoides is not only not a lizard, but is a more distantly related diapsid reptile.

    Are peer reviewers influenced by their work being cited?

    Adrian Barnett
    Some requests by reviewers to cite their own publications are coercive and can unnecessarily delay indexation and publication.

    Regional heterogeneities of oligodendrocytes underlie biased Ranvier node spacing along single axons in sound localization circuit

    Ryo Egawa, Kota Hiraga ... Hiroshi Kuba
    Oligodendrocytes with different morphological features work together to support precise binaural integration for sound localization in the chick brainstem auditory circuit.
