The use of forward genetic screens in zebrafish identifies a new model of vertebrate aging, defining the regulating of the onset of aging phenotypes through maintenance of progenitor cell populations.

Strong reduction in malaria transmission by genetically modified mosquitoes is achieved in the laboratory using a dual gene drive that simultaneously propagates an antiparasitic factor and a parasite-detrimental mosquito mutation.

Signaling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in enterocytes impacts barrier integrity in the Drosophila intestine by regulating formation of the peritrophic matrix.

Single-cell transcriptomics of the zebrafish ovary identifies both major and minor cell types and provides a valuable resource for researchers interested in reproductive biology, stem cell biology, and aquatic toxicology.

A digital flesh model of the sail-backed dinosaur Spinosaurus was tested and performed very poorly in water, favoring the view of this dinosaur as a two-legged, wading ambush predator of large fish in shallow waterways and not an aquatic dinosaur.

Notch signaling controls the collective migration of parapineal cells through its capacity to restrict FGF pathway activation to a few leading cells.

A mouse model of human muscle myopathy is used to provide mechanistic insight, identify possible biomarkers of disease, and suggest possible therapeutic strategies to alleviate muscle weakness.

Two putative long noncoding RNAs in zebrafish encode micropeptides with homology to the vertebrate-specific chromatin architectural protein, Hmgn1, which are required for development of vertebrate-specific brain cell types.

Global, multi-angled genetic analyses identified an age-associated loss of stem cell lineage fidelity that was linked to changes in polycomb regulation in the Drosophila intestinal epithelium.
