Prostaglandin synthesis and PGE2 receptor activity are essential for mediating segmentation of renal progenitors during pronephros formation in the zebrafish.
In vivo modulation of the prostaglandin, interferon, or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor pathway induces rapid and specific transcriptional changes in hematopoietic stem cells with significant heterogeneity in the cellular response.
A new pathway is described involving the estrogen receptor alpha in the acute response of small arteries to flow independent of the ligand (estrogen) and of the nuclear signaling.

Careful analysis of adverse drug reaction reports reveals noise and biases embedded in this data and allows for systematic mitigation of these effects to produce much more robust understanding of side effects of marketed drugs.
Targeted activation of Hedgehog signalling via Gli2 facilitated the reduction of high-fat-diet-induced obesity and improvement of whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in adult mice.
Modulation of dermal adipocytes contributes to skin homeostasis and provides a promising new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of EGFRI-related skin disorders.
