The maternally provided histone demethylase LSD1/KDM1A has an instrumental role at the beginning of life, shaping the histone methylation landscape and the transcriptional repertoire of the early mouse embryo.

Lineage tracing at single-cell resolution reveals the presence of mesoteloblasts, the embryonic origin of mesodermal growth zone cells, and diverse cell cycling patterns of these lineages in the 'Polychaete' annelid Platynereis.

Song learning accuracy can be predicted and traced in the structural properties of the brains of juvenile male zebra finches already at 20 days post-hatching.

Despite the structural sexual dimorphism in the song control system, both male and female starlings experience similar seasonal neuroplasticity in multisensory systems and cerebellum during the photosensitive phase, which acts as a sensitive window of plasticity.

Common kidney disease risk variants in African populations are associated with reduced susceptibility to deadly African trypanosomes.

Volume-EM reconstruction of a whole-body desmosomal connectome including all muscles and their desmosomal partners in a Platynereis larva provides a detailed view of the organisation of the entire locomotor system in an animal.

An inadequate engagement of the inflammation resolution circuit centred on Annexin A1 contributes to the excessive inflammation observed in severe DENV infection, suggesting FPR2/ALX agonists as a therapeutic target for dengue disease.

Apicomplexan parasites secrete proteins to manipulate their hosts from sub-apical openings in their cell pellicle that are distinct from the apical complex from where invasion factors are secreted.

Plasma membrane damage causes the release of exosomes from cultured human cells.

A small brain-derived lipid prevents bristle worms from entering maturation and death, challenging current views of hormone evolution and pesticide specificity.
