    miR-142 regulates the tumorigenicity of human breast cancer stem cells through the canonical WNT signaling pathway

    Taichi Isobe, Shigeo Hisamori ... Yohei Shimono
    Insights into the roles and mechanisms of two of the miRNAs upregulated in human breast cancer stem cells in at least some breast cancers are presented.

    Maternally inherited piRNAs direct transient heterochromatin formation at active transposons during early Drosophila embryogenesis

    Martin H Fabry, Federica A Falconio ... Gregory J Hannon
    Maternally deposited Piwi-piRNA complexes co-transcriptionally repress transposable elements that transiently become active in somatic cells of the developing Drosophila embryo.

    Mouse B2 SINE elements function as IFN-inducible enhancers

    Isabella Horton, Conor J Kelly ... Edward B Chuong
    An epigenomic analysis in mouse macrophages reveals that a highly abundant transposable element exhibits activity as an immune inducible regulatory element.

    Cells use molecular working memory to navigate in changing chemoattractant fields

    Akhilesh Nandan, Abhishek Das ... Aneta Koseska
    Combined experimental and theoretical analysis identifies a molecular mechanism akin to working memory that enables single cells to perform complex navigation tasks in changing growth factor fields, beyond simple stimulus-response associations.

    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.

    Pum2 and TDP-43 refine area-specific cytoarchitecture post-mitotically and modulate translation of Sox5, Bcl11b, and Rorb mRNAs in developing mouse neocortex

    Kawssar Harb, Melanie Richter ... Kent Duncan
    RNA-binding proteins use both translational activation and repression of key molecular determinants to post-mitotically sculpt the identity and connectivity of developing mouse neocortex in an area-specific manner.

    Pervasive epigenetic effects of Drosophila euchromatic transposable elements impact their evolution

    Yuh Chwen G Lee, Gary H Karpen
    The ability of transposable elements to epigenetically influence adjacent genes impacts genome evolution by driving substantial variation in transposon numbers between species.

    Aquaporin-4-dependent glymphatic solute transport in the rodent brain

    Humberto Mestre, Lauren M Hablitz ... Maiken Nedergaard
    An international collaboration between five independent research groups replicates findings confirming the importance of aquaporin-4 in glymphatic solute transport using five different mouse knockout lines.

    Spatial transcriptomics reveals metabolic changes underly age-dependent declines in digit regeneration

    Robert J Tower, Emily Busse ... Mimi C Sammarco
    Metabolic supplementation attenuates age-dependent declines in regeneration.

    Characterization of cephalic and non-cephalic sensory cell types provides insight into joint photo- and mechanoreceptor evolution

    Roger Revilla-i-Domingo, Vinoth Babu Veedin Rajan ... Kristin Tessmar-Raible
    Molecular, cellular and behavioral genetic approaches in Platynereis dumerilii indicate that r-Opsins can act as ancient, light-dependent modulators of mechanosensation, and suggest that light-independent mechanosensory roles of r-Opsins evolved secondarily.
