Two acid-sensing members of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel family play distinct roles in controlling different aspects of rhythmic proton and calcium oscillations in the nematode intestine.
Single-cell analysis of injured mouse sciatic nerves reveals rapid reprogramming of macrophages toward a glycolytic, proinflammatory phenotype during the early repair process.

A single-cell transcriptomic resource of the early chick epiblast from mid-gastrulation through neurulation highlighting emergence of the neural plate border territory, with emphasis on neural crest specification.
Enteroendocrine cells sense nutrients in the gut and regulate digestive physiology but are rendered insensitive following fat ingestion due to alteration of gut microbiota.
A thorough insight into the previously unrecognised role of a critical developmental regulator known as TBXT in influencing the specification of human trunk neural crest cells, the presumed precursors of the childhood tumour neuroblastoma.

A genetic strategy reveals that the perisynaptic glial response to neural activity in one population of these glia regulates postsynaptic function and therefore muscle fatigue.
Anchoring of proteins to the cell membrane through the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor is critical for the survival of the cells that will give rise to the brain and face.
