A systemic hormone controls progenitor fate decisions independent of local fate determining pathways in the adult intestinal stem cell niche of Drosophila melanogaster..
A novel molecular mechanism linking a neurotrophin with a Toll-family and kinase-less Trk-like receptors provides a direct link from molecules to structural circuit plasticity and modification of behaviour.

Cancer cell antigen presentation, a requirement for immune-mediated tumor rejection, is induced by dihydroorotate dehydrogenase-inhibitor-mediated cancer cell pyrimidine nucleotide depletion via P-TEFb-dependent transcriptional upregulation of MHC-I and related genes.

Genetic and proteomic analyses reveal that the SPARK kinase, which is a regulator of key life-cycle transitions in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, complexes with an elongin-like protein to regulate several important AGC-family kinases.
STIM1 regulates the contractility of blood vessels and blood pressure by organizing membrane contact sites and ion channel activity in vascular smooth muscle cells in a manner that is independent of its canonical function in store-operated Ca2+entry.
If CHIP and mLOY do not significantly contribute to inflammation, atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction risk independently, CHIP may increase the risk of MI in men who do not carry mLOY.
A new example of niche formation, revealing the mode of niche cell migration, implicates extrinsic sources of positional information, and uncovers the pathway required for stereotypical positioning of the niche.
