The distinct transcriptomic features of extraocular muscle satellite cells, partially mimicked by NaBu treatment, endow enhanced self-renewal and axon attraction, contribute to neuromuscular junction preservation during ALS progression.
The SP1/KLF transcription factor Huckebein controls endoreplication in the Drosophila salivary gland, ensuring proper morphogenesis during organ formation.
New archaeobotanical data from Negev Highland rubbish middens demonstrate that crop diversity in the Southern Levant expanded more during the first millennium CE than in any earlier period, yet with minimal consequences for consumption and production patterns.
Fibro-adipogenic progenitors in skeletal muscle contribute to the neuromuscular pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy, and depletion of SMN in chondrocytes reduces local IGF sigaling in growth plate.
Adult Drosophila exposed to auxin at the recommended concentrations for the AGES transgene expression system display defects in feeding behavior, have altered metabolic transcripts, and have reduced triacylglyceride levels.
Biochemical, molecular, and genetic analyses show that in Drosophila the epigenetic enzyme TET does not demethylate 6mA, which is scarce in the genome, but rather acts in a catalytic-independent manner.
