Measurement of physiological intracellular Ca²⁺ signals following neural stimulation in vivo reveals distinct spatiotemporal characteristics that promote optimal salivary gland fluid secretion.

TRPV4 and ANO1 are co-expressed in the sweat glands of mouse food pads and found to be involved in perspiration, suggesting that local temperature sensation through TRPV4 could control seating.

A transport protein enables leaf beetle larvae to take up and store plant toxins and use them as part of their own defense strategy.

Establishment of the acinar lineage in the salivary gland requires SOX2 and parasympathetic nerves.

Secretory cells in the fruit fly reproductive tract produce secretions that control ovulation through a conserved mechanism that could provide insights into ovarian cancer.

Poison acidified crops sanitize food and limit disease transmission while at the same time structuring the gut microbiota and thus contribute to the ecological and evolutionary success of formicine ants.

In a mouse model of Sjogren's disease, mitochondrial function and Ca²⁺ signaling are disrupted resulting in altered coupling between Ca²⁺ release and Ca²⁺ activated Cl^- channels and salivary gland hypofunction.

Synergistic interactions with PI(4,5)P2 and activated Rho1, which are enriched at the apical membrane of tubular organs, facilitate tight apical targeting of the formin Diaphanous.

PDGFRα+ Sca-1+ bone marrow stromal/stem cells in whole bone marrow grafts can trigger the onset of autoimmune-related fibrosis in a mouse model of scleroderma.

Gradual downregulation of each of the subunits of the evolutionary-conserved exocyst holocomplex shows that the complex is required for biogenesis, maturation, and exocytosis of secretory granules in Drosophila salivary glands.
