Extraembryonic tissue spreading in the scuttle fly Megaselia abdita requires mechanical decoupling from the underlying yolk sac.

The water channel AQP4 contributes to a tonic water outflow from brain astrocytes, thereby modulating their volume dynamics and the ambient water homeostasis.

Cation chloride cotransporter CCC1 has a central function in plant cells and is the missing ion efflux component of the transport circuit necessary to regulate pH in the lumen of the trans-Golgi-network/early endosome, the major cargo hub in plant cells.

The most common Parkinson’s disease-associated mutation, LRRK2 G2019S, impairs mitophagy in clinically relevant cells within the mouse brain and this defect can be reversed using a novel LRRK2 inhibitor.

Spontaneous fluctuations in pupil-indexed arousal shape human cortical dynamics in a frequency-dependent and spatially diverse manner.

LUZP1 is required for proper cilia and cytoskeleton formation.

High-throughput RNA-RNA interaction analysis uncovers many novel sRNA-target interactions at various growth stages in Escherichia coli.

The diffusional barrier formed between phagocyte integrin and fungal glucans preserves the microbiostatic phagocytic environment generated during the frustrated phagocytosis of Candida albicans hypha.

Escherichia coli is surprisingly tolerant to chromatinization by archaeal histones, suggesting that histones can become established as ubiquitous chromatin proteins without interfering critically with some key DNA-templated processes.

Capsular polysaccharides of Acinetobacter baumannii regulate type VI secretion system activity, balancing self-protection with interbacterial competitiveness.
