    Hydrodynamics and multiscale order in confluent epithelia

    Josep-Maria Armengol-Collado, Livio Nicola Carenza, Luca Giomi
    Confluent cellular layers display the remarkable ability of supportingmultiscale orientational order, that is the existence of different typeof liquid crystal order at different length scales.

    Hypoxia triggers collective aerotactic migration in Dictyostelium discoideum

    Olivier Cochet-Escartin, Mete Demircigil ... Jean-Paul Rieu
    Cell assemblies can use environmental cues created by their own respiration, such as oxygen gradients, to collectively guide themselves to more favorable locations in a remarkably robust and long-lasting way.

    The integrated brain network that controls respiration

    Friedrich Krohn, Manuele Novello ... Laurens WJ Bosman
    The primary rhythm generators controlling respiration are integrated in a much larger network of brain regions, including areas not typically considered to be respiratory control centers, and that allow respiration to be adapted to all forms of ongoing behavior.

    Destabilizers of the thymidylate synthase homodimer accelerate its proteasomal degradation and inhibit cancer growth

    Luca Costantino, Stefania Ferrari ... Maria Paola Costi
    The dimer destabilizers cause a dimer-to-monomer equilibrium shift favoring the human thymidylate synthase monomer more degradable by the proteasome, thus breaking the long-standing link between inhibition and enhanced expression of the protein to fight cancer drug resistance.

    Interplay between acetylation and ubiquitination of imitation switch chromatin remodeler Isw1 confers multidrug resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans

    Yang Meng, Yue Ni ... Chen Ding
    Isw1 acts as a master regulator in modulating the expression of drug-resistance genes, and this regulatory mechanism is dependent on the interaction of Isw1 acetylation and ubiquitination.

    Light sets the brain’s daily clock by regional quickening and slowing of the molecular clockworks at dawn and dusk

    Suil Kim, Douglas G McMahon
    Light signals adjusting the brain's daily clock induce distinct waveform changes in molecular clock gene rhythms at dawn and dusk, and trigger regionally differential clock changes.

    Cytokinesis in vertebrate cells initiates by contraction of an equatorial actomyosin network composed of randomly oriented filaments

    Felix Spira, Sara Cuylen-Haering ... Daniel W Gerlich
    Asymmetric tension increase along the cell equator promotes self-organization of actomyosin into a partially aligned network during cytokinetic cleavage furrow ingression of vertebrate cells.

    Arnold tongue entrainment reveals dynamical principles of the embryonic segmentation clock

    Paul Gerald Layague Sanchez, Victoria Mochulska ... Alexander Aulehla
    A microfluidic experimental approach combined with dynamical systems theory reveals how to entrain an embryonic oscillator, the segmentation clock, and allows for the quantification of its entrainment properties.
