    Transcriptional control of subtype switching ensures adaptation and growth of pancreatic cancer

    Christina R Adams, Htet Htwe Htwe ... Rushika M Perera
    The GLI2 transcription factor is a master regulator of the aggressive basal-like subtype of pancreatic cancer and enables adaptation to oncogenic KRAS ablation.

    An order-to-disorder structural switch activates the FoxM1 transcription factor

    Aimee H Marceau, Caileen M Brison ... Seth M Rubin
    Structural and biochemical analysis reveals that two intrinsically disordered domains of the transcription factor FoxM1 co-fold to form an autoinhibited conformation, which is disrupted by a specific activating phosphorylation event.

    Nuclear receptor NR4A is required for patterning at the ends of the planarian anterior-posterior axis

    Dayan J Li, Conor L McMann, Peter W Reddien
    NR4A is a broadly conserved transcription factor that is required for concordance of patterning information and anatomy at both ends of the planarian anterior-posterior axis.

    Gene-centric functional dissection of human genetic variation uncovers regulators of hematopoiesis

    Satish K Nandakumar, Sean K McFarland ... Vijay G Sankaran
    A gene-centric functional screen uncovers biological mechanisms underlying genome-wide association study signals for human red blood cell traits.

    Stem cell topography splits growth and homeostatic functions in the fish gill

    Julian Stolper, Elizabeth Mayela Ambrosio ... Lazaro Centanin
    The fish gill, an ever-growing organ with fast turnover rate, displays dedicated stem-cell populations for growth and homeostasis that are interchangeable upon external challenges.

    Mammalian cell growth dynamics in mitosis

    Teemu P Miettinen, Joon Ho Kang ... Scott R Manalis
    High-resolution single-cell mass accumulation and protein synthesis rate measurements are used to quantify the extent, dynamics and consequences of animal cell growth in mitosis and cytokinesis.

    Live-cell imaging reveals enhancer-dependent Sox2 transcription in the absence of enhancer proximity

    Jeffrey M Alexander, Juan Guan ... Orion D Weiner
    Sox2 transcription is not correlated with spatial proximity of its essential regulatory enhancer in embryonic stem cells, suggesting gene transcription is not limited to periods of direct enhancer-promoter contact.

    Dynamic relocalization of replication origins by Fkh1 requires execution of DDK function and Cdc45 loading at origins

    Haiyang Zhang, Meghan V Petrie ... Oscar M Aparicio
    Establishment of replication-timing involves Fkh1-dependent recruitment and execution of DDK function in G1 phase resulting in dynamic relocalization of origins within the nucleus in anticipation of CDK-dependent origin activation.

    Human macular Müller cells rely more on serine biosynthesis to combat oxidative stress than those from the periphery

    Ting Zhang, Ling Zhu ... Mark C Gillies
    The important role of serine biosynthesis in Müller cells may explain why the macula is so much more prone to developing disease than the rest of the retina.

    Non-selective inhibition of inappropriate motor-tendencies during response-conflict by a fronto-subthalamic mechanism

    Jan R Wessel, Darcy A Waller, Jeremy DW Greenlee
    Action-selection under response-conflict is buttressed by an inhibitory control signal from the basal ganglia that non-selectively suppresses motor excitability.
