A genetic analysis in yeast establishes that multicellularity can arise as a side-effect (passenger phenotype) of a completely independent fitness advantage unrelated to the benefits of group formation itself.
A multi-step ribosome assembly method involving changes in ion concentration and temperature can now be carried out in a single step using the two GTPase factors, EngA and ObgE.
Terminal tracheal cells in Drosophila evade innate immune activation, revealing a fundamental trade-off in which suppression of canonical immune signaling preserves Foxo-dependent plasticity and sustains respiratory function.

Presynaptic endocytic machinery is constitutively deployed to periactive zones, indicating independent assembly pathways for the exo- and endocytic machineries of nerve terminals.
In an assay focusing on active virus recruitment rather than passive binding, STED microscopy reveals early association of virions to CD151, indicating its early involvement in viral entry platforms formation.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin structure in a cell-based model of breast cancer reveal chromatin reorganization accompanied by changes in transcription and epigenetic marks.

Present-day Faroese genomes reveal ancestry, bottleneck history, and signatures of selection, and offer a foundation for understanding the genetic architecture of health and disease in this North Atlantic founder population.
Analyses of two independent phylogenomic datasets suggest an explosive radiation at the origin of Spiralia, with implications for understanding the group's evolutionary history.
