Detailed structural analysis of NPAS1-ARNT and NPAS3-ARNT complexes, and further comparisons with other bHLH-PAS protein structures, show that this family of mammalian transcription factors have distinct ligand-binding pockets within their molecular architectures.
A new pathway is described involving the estrogen receptor alpha in the acute response of small arteries to flow independent of the ligand (estrogen) and of the nuclear signaling.

The transcription factor Olig3 safeguards the correct specification of early born cerebellar neuron derivatives and curtails an inhibitory interneuron differentiation program.
A deep analysis of multiple genomic datasets reveals which genetic pathways associated with atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease are shared between mice and humans.

Expression of transcription factor BMAL1 in skeletal muscle reduces the recovery response to sleep loss and is both necessary and sufficient to regulate total sleep amount.
Identification of human DNA sites differentially methylated with aging across six different primary immune cells suggests that the sensing of hypoxia drives the epigenetic clock.

Upon host cell contact, motile but not non-motile Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibit a change in their gene expression program that includes the expression of spermidine, which triggers motility-dependent phagocytosis.
The chromatin regulator WDR5 is a regulator of translation, and small molecule inhibitors or degraders of WDR5 can be used to treat triple-negative breast cancer.
