    Ecdysone steroid hormone remote controls intestinal stem cell fate decisions via the PPARγ-homolog Eip75B in Drosophila

    Lisa Zipper, Denise Jassmann ... Tobias Reiff
    A systemic hormone controls progenitor fate decisions independent of local fate determining pathways in the adult intestinal stem cell niche of Drosophila melanogaster..

    Cyclic bouts of extreme bradycardia counteract the high metabolism of frugivorous bats

    M Teague O'Mara, Martin Wikelski ... Dina KN Dechmann
    Novel heart rate strategies that minimize energy expenditure during the day are necessary to cope with high energy nocturnal lifestyles of tent-making bats.

    Proofreading through spatial gradients

    Vahe Galstyan, Kabir Husain ... Rob Phillips
    Theoretical study shows how enzymes can achieve substrate proofreading by taking advantage of existing molecular gradients in the cell while not being endowed with structural features typically required for proofreading.

    Eyeless uncouples mushroom body neuroblast proliferation from dietary amino acids in Drosophila

    Conor W Sipe, Sarah E Siegrist
    Using Drosophila as a model organism shows that neural stem cell proliferation decisions in response to dietary nutrient conditions can be regulated by cell-autonomous lineage factors.

    Structure of human phagocyte NADPH oxidase in the resting state

    Rui Liu, Kangcheng Song ... Lei Chen
    The cryo-EM structure of a functional human NOX2-p22 complex in nanodisc in the resting state reveals the architecture of this key enzyme essential for innate immunity.

    FcγRIIb-SHIP2 axis links Aβ to tau pathology by disrupting phosphoinositide metabolism in Alzheimer's disease model

    Tae-In Kam, Hyejin Park ... Yong-Keun Jung
    By binding to Fc gamma receptor IIb, amyloid beta induces a series of phosphorylation events that mediate the damaging effects of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease.

    A descending inhibitory mechanism of nociception mediated by an evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide system in Drosophila

    Izumi Oikawa, Shu Kondo ... Ken Honjo
    Descending inhibition of nociception from the brain has been identified in Drosophila larvae, for the first time in non-mammalian organisms.

    Steroid hormone induction of temporal gene expression in Drosophila brain neuroblasts generates neuronal and glial diversity

    Mubarak Hussain Syed, Brandon Mark, Chris Q Doe
    A steroid hormone acts directly on brain neural progenitors to coordinately alter gene expression and specify neuronal and glial cell types.

    Oxidative stress induces stem cell proliferation via TRPA1/RyR-mediated Ca2+ signaling in the Drosophila midgut

    Chiwei Xu, Junjie Luo ... Norbert Perrimon
    In response to tissue damage, reactive oxygen species can be sensed by cation channels TRPA1/RyR to cause increases of cytosolic Ca2+ in intestinal stem cells, activating Ras/MAPK activity and stimulating stem cell proliferation in Drosophila.
