    The proteolysis of ZP proteins is essential to control cell membrane structure and integrity of developing tracheal tubes in Drosophila

    Leonard Drees, Susi Schneider ... Matthias Behr
    Genetic analyses reveal the importance of dynamic protein processing at the apical cell membrane in response to forces damaging cell membranes during tube expansion in tubular organs.

    Cortical anchoring of the microtubule cytoskeleton is essential for neuron polarity

    Liu He, Robbelien Kooistra ... Martin Harterink
    UNC119 complexes the microtubule binding CRMP to the cortical Ankyrin to immobilize the microtubule cytoskeleton in Caenorhabditis elegans neurons.

    Nanos promotes epigenetic reprograming of the germline by down-regulation of the THAP transcription factor LIN-15B

    Chih-Yung Sean Lee, Tu Lu, Geraldine Seydoux
    Nanos is required for germline specification by erasure of maternal program in primordial germ cells.

    An NAD+-dependent novel transcription factor controls stage conversion in Entamoeba

    Dipak Manna, Christian Stephan Lentz ... Upinder Singh
    Cellular NAD+ levels change during stage conversion and regulate function of a novel transcription factor that controls developmental switching in the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica.

    Vacuolar H+-ATPase determines daughter cell fates through asymmetric segregation of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex

    Zhongyun Xie, Yongping Chai ... Wei Li
    Asymmetric segregation of V-ATPase may cause distinct acidification levels in the two daughter cells, enabling asymmetric epigenetic inheritance that specifies their respective life-versus-death fates.

    A conserved morphogenetic mechanism for epidermal ensheathment of nociceptive sensory neurites

    Nan Jiang, Jeffrey P Rasmussen ... Jay Z Parrish
    Epidermal cells in vertebrates and invertebrates ensheath portions of somatosensory neurons via a conserved morphogenetic mechanism, and this ensheathment regulates morphogenesis and function of Drosophila nociceptive neurons.

    Spatiotemporal coupling and decoupling of gene transcription with DNA replication origins during embryogenesis in C. elegans

    Ehsan Pourkarimi, James M Bellush, Iestyn Whitehouse
    Replication origins are fundamental organizers and regulators of gene activity through embryonic development.

    Cerebrospinal fluid proteome maps detect pathogen-specific host response patterns in meningitis

    Anahita Bakochi, Tirthankar Mohanty ... Johan Malmström
    Statistical analysis and LASSO regression modeling provide insights into pathogen-specific host response patterns in cerebrospinal fluid from different disease etiologies to support future classification of pathogen type based on host response patterns in meningitis.

    Epithelial-Myeloid cell crosstalk regulates acinar cell plasticity and pancreatic remodeling in mice

    Yaqing Zhang, Wei Yan ... Marina Pasca di Magliano
    In the pancreas, reciprocal interactions between epithelial cells and myeloid cells determine the balance between tissue repair and carcinogenesis by regulating acinar cell plasticity through differential activation of EGFR/MAPK signaling.

    A moonlighting function of a chitin polysaccharide monooxygenase, CWR-1, in Neurospora crassa allorecognition

    Tyler C Detomasi, Adriana M Rico-Ramírez ... N Louise Glass
    Allorecognition in Neurospora crassa requires CWR-1 (cell wall remodeling protein), an essential process that ensures identity of an interconnected fungal syncytial colony and requires the CWR-1 polysaccharide monooxygenase domain, but not its catalytic activity.
