A retrotransposon-derived recombination event in inbred mice gives rise to an epiallele and tissue-specific phenotypes.

The transcription factor HAND2 evolved uterine expression during the origins of pregnancy and may be important for maternal-fetal immune signaling and parturition.

Individual nonmuscle myosin 2 filaments in cells may differ their mechanical and kinetic properties depending on the myosin paralog composition giving the cells a mechanism for fine tuning the output of a given nonmuscle myosin filament.

Mice deficient in the TRPM6 channel suffer from impaired prenatal development, shortened lifespan, growth deficit and disturbed energy balance due to a defect in epithelial Mg²⁺ uptake, thus highlighting a pivotal role of TRPM6 in organismal Mg²⁺ homeostasis.

Short peptide motifs can confer specificity to developmental networks by inhibiting protein–protein interactions.

The first complete 3D structures of mouse cholinergic neurons reveal the length and complexity of their axons, while calculations suggest that equivalent axons in the human brain are approximately than 100 meters long.
