The enterococcal adhesin PrgB consists of four immunoglobulin-like domains that support the proper function of its polymer adhesin domain.

Zebrafish have lubricated joints similar to ours and are a tractable model for arthritis research.

Alternative splicing provides a mechanism to maintain oscillations of the circadian clock.

During Drosophila axis elongation, the orientational pattern of the cytoskeleton is in good approximation stationary, while the genes thought to instruct these patterns are transported with the tissue flow.

The basal body of the type-III secretion system of Yersinia enterocolitica within bacterial membranes shows elasticity and is longer than related isolated systems.

A novel component of type III protein secretion systems involved in the assembly of the secretion machine is reported.

SIMR-1 acts downstream of the piRNA pathway to promote siRNA amplification by the Mutator complex and localizes to perinuclear foci distinct from Mutator foci, P granules and Z granules.

Cohesin is required for the expression of neuronal genes that engage in long chromatin loops, while short-range enhancer-promoter loops can form in the absence of cohesin.

Slow-cycling chondrocytes are maintained in a Wnt-inhibitory environment within the resting zone, unraveling a novel mechanism regulating maintenance and differentiation of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-expressing skeletal stem cells of the postnatal growth plate.

The method presented here allows researchers to retrieve accurate and reproducible biomechanical properties of mouse cartilage.
