Single-cell transcriptome analysis of sacral compared with vagal neural crest-derived cells in the developing chick enteric nervous system reveals both similarities and differences between these two cell populations.

Self-activating Aurora B kinase, opposed by an inhibitory phosphatase, forms spatial phosphorylation patterns during cell division.

Flight system of flies is driven by wings and mechanosensory halteres that operate as independently driven but coupled oscillators, thereby imparting robustness against wing or thorax damage.

Novel frequency-based analysis and computation modeling of cilia carpets reveals that tissue-scale metachronal coordination of cilia can arise even in the absence of global synchronization.

The identification of 31 neuropeptide GPCRs in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis provides a rich resource to study peptidergic signaling in cnidarians and suggests that cnidarian and bilaterian peptidergic systems diversified independent from each other from a few ancestral systems.

The auditory periphery of Ormia ochracea does not allow for spatial release from masking.

Protein kinase A regulates the rapid, activity-dependent genesis of excitatory synapses during striatal development.

Signatures of criticality that have been observed across diverse neural systems, such as power-law avalanche distributions and exponent relationships, can arise without fine-tuning in networks coupled to latent, dynamical variables.

A new genetically encoded system manipulates the pH inside cells to detect whether they are coupled to each other.

Noisy circadian clocks in Anabaena, coupled by cell-cell communication, display high spatio-temporal coherence and can be robustly described by incorporating demographic noise in a theoretical model of coupled clock arrays.
