Fission yeasts cells have about 190 cytokinesis nodes in a broad band at the equator which scales with cell size and most but not all nodes condense into the contractile ring.

The readiness potential—a long-established neural precursor of voluntary action claimed to precede the onset of the conscious decision to move—is absent, or at least significantly reduced, for deliberate decisions.

Airborne PM2.5 exposure triggers oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis in placental trophoblast cells via the KLF9/CYP1A1 transcriptional axis, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Maternally deposited Piwi-piRNA complexes co-transcriptionally repress transposable elements that transiently become active in somatic cells of the developing Drosophila embryo.

Human yolk sac-like cells, which share characteristics with the post-implantation human hypoblast, can model the interaction between the epiblast and hypoblast that occurs during early human development.

The yeast mRNA decapping enzyme Dcp1/Dcp2 repressses many genes whose products are required on poor carbon or nitrogen sources in nutrient-replete cells by mRNA decapping and degradation or translational repression, adding post-transcriptional controls to the transcriptional repression of these functions.

miR-125 functions as a potential dietary restriction mimetic by promoting longevity through regulation of fat metabolism.

Blood-borne factors contribute to changes in the circadian transcriptome with age.

Empirical patterns of genomic and phenotypic variation across the landscape are used to develop a predictive model that will help build resilient ecological communities.
