Lung interstitial macrophages are strategically positioned underneath the bronchial airway epithelium and enriched at airway bifurcations for immunosurveillance of the conducting airway lumen and the initiation of adaptive immune responses.

The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.

An unprecedented large-scale screen in mice for morphogenetic regulators of tissue development provides major new insights into the roles of Rho GTPases in diverse array of skin developmental processes.

Analyses of the chemical structure of ciliobrevins led to dynein inhibitors with improved properties and higher potency.

A minimal mathematical model can explain the emergence of planar cell polarity in epithelial tissues using only three free parameters, namely the rate of protein binding to cell membrane, the intracellular protein concentration, and the steepness of tissue-level gradients.

The 'spinning lasso' geometry of Euglena's beating flagellum is revealed, and a model based on the antagonistic forces exchanged by axoneme and paraflagellar rod is proposed to explain its emergence.
