An interdisciplinary approach uncovers a never-before-seen multifaceted synchrony of developmental processes in the rodent retina which are driven by purinergic signalling from apoptotic retinal ganglion cells.
Tooth plucking triggers a rapid, coordinated regeneration program in cichlids, accelerating replacement more than threefold through temporally organized epithelial, mesenchymal, immune, vascular, and neural signaling.

Behavioural, optogenetic, and gene expression analyses demonstrate that regional mechanosensory processes instructed by Hox gene inputs are essential for postural control in Drosophila larvae linking local body features to behaviour.
A well-orchestrated machinery for L-leucine uptake is functional in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is important for the intracellular survival of the tuberculosis (TB) pathogen.

The formation of biomolecular condensates by multivalent membrane proteins is delayed by slow crosslinking dynamics, with a variety of condensate morphologies emerging under different experimental conditions.
In vivo live imaging, quantitative analysis, and computational modeling reveal that wound-induced epithelial cell fusion accelerates epithelial repair through several likely mechanisms.
