The lysine acetyltransferases KAT2A and KAT2B regulate the dynamic chromatin association of the tumour suppressor protein PALB2, protecting active genes and promoting DNA damage repair in a context-dependent manner.
EZH2 is regulated by a K20-methylation dependent proteolysis and this proteolysis process is negatively controlled by AKT-mediated S21 phosphorylation to establish a methylation-phosphorylation switch to control the PRC2 activity and hematopoiesis.
To study odor-guided navigation of small animals such as worms and fly larvae, a novel flow chamber and odor sensor array are presented that better characterize the odors that the animal experiences.
A new multi camera imaging platform simultaneously captures large-area, high-resolution video of unconstrained small model organisms and provides behavioral measurements that span multiple spatial scales.

Spot-On is an easy-to-use website that makes a rigorous and bias-corrected modeling framework for analysis of single-molecule tracking experiments available to all.
MakA, a pore-forming cytotoxin produced by Vibrio cholerae, forms oligomers and remodels membranes into high-curvature tubes, resulting in membrane integrity loss inside acidified organelle lumens or when cultured with cells in an acidic medium.

Sensory innervation density in the insect associative learning center is set by postsynaptic cells and accomplished by flexible allocation of processes by presynaptic cells.
Outgroup conflict can negatively impact general reproductive behaviour, egg investment, and parental care, resulting in decreased reproductive output even in the absence of physical confrontations.
