    Sex-determining genes distinctly regulate courtship capability and target preference via sexually dimorphic neurons

    Kenichi Ishii, Margot Wohl ... Kenta Asahina
    Sex-specific characteristics of the fruit fly courtship behavior are not specified by a single binary switch, but as a combination of traits that are modularly specified by separable genetic switches.

    Layered roles of fruitless isoforms in specification and function of male aggression-promoting neurons in Drosophila

    Margot Wohl, Kenichi Ishii, Kenta Asahina
    Male-type aggressive and courtship behaviors of the fruit flies are differentially specified by two sex-determining genes, providing a substrate for the evolution to sculpt these two behaviors independently.

    Functional heterogeneity of lymphocytic patterns in primary melanoma dissected through single-cell multiplexing

    Francesca Maria Bosisio, Asier Antoranz ... Joost van den Oord
    Multiplexing and digital analysis of melanoma tissue describe functionally the microenvironment associated with brisk/non-brisk infiltrates and expose the functional incongruences of this morphological classification currently in use for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

    A bulky glycocalyx fosters metastasis formation by promoting G1 cell cycle progression

    Elliot C Woods, FuiBoon Kai ... Carolyn R Bertozzi
    Mucins, long associated with cancer aggression, remodel the cancer glycocalyx in a way that promotes proliferation in the metastatic site by enhancing integrin-mediated adhesion and thus driving cell cycle progression.

    Hox genes control vertebrate body elongation by collinear Wnt repression

    Nicolas Denans, Tadahiro Iimura, Olivier Pourquié
    The collinear activation of a subset of posterior Hox genes is responsible for establishing a Wnt/T activity gradient that is required to generate the complete body axis, and hence the full set of segments within a vertebrate embryo.

    Reward prediction error does not explain movement selectivity in DMS-projecting dopamine neurons

    Rachel S Lee, Marcelo G Mattar ... Nathaniel D Daw
    Despite the fundamental relationship between movement and value, they are represented in a separable manner in dopamine neurons.

    The RhoGAP activity of CYK-4/MgcRacGAP functions non-canonically by promoting RhoA activation during cytokinesis

    Donglei Zhang, Michael Glotzer
    Activation of the key regulator of cytokinesis, RhoA, involves an unexpected contribution by a RhoGAP domain.

    Bacillus thuringiensis toxins divert progenitor cells toward enteroendocrine fate by decreasing cell adhesion with intestinal stem cells in Drosophila

    Rouba Jneid, Rihab Loudhaief ... Armel Gallet
    Bacillus thuringiensis crystalline toxins used as microbial pesticides disrupt the homeostasis of intestinal cells of the non-target Drosophila melanogaster.

    MYC regulates ribosome biogenesis and mitochondrial gene expression programs through its interaction with host cell factor–1

    Tessa M Popay, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Interaction of oncoprotein transcription factor MYC with chromatin-associated protein host cell factor–1 controls expression of genes important for ribosome biogenesis and mitochondrial vigor, loss of which promotes tumor regression.

    Hunger- and thirst-sensing neurons modulate a neuroendocrine network to coordinate sugar and water ingestion

    Amanda J González Segarra, Gina Pontes ... Kristin Scott
    A peptidergic network translates internal nutrient abundance cues into the coordinated regulation of sugar and water ingestion.
