The secreted toxin mycolactone has severe effects on the cells lining blood vessels that will play a critical role in the development of swelling in Buruli ulcer disease.

Transport of double-stranded RNA from parental circulation to progeny using the transmembrane protein SID-1 can occur through multiple routes during C. elegans development and buffer heritable changes in gene expression.

A unique functional comparison of the major endometrial cell types from 44 control and endometriosis patients demonstrates not only a uterine origin of the disease, but also that endometrial to mesothelial cell gap junctions are required for invasive lesion formation.

The Notch signaling pathway can use its various ligands, receptors, and Fringe proteins to generate diverse intra- and intercellular signaling behaviors.

Active and passive contributions to cell shape change and rearrangements can be distinguished from observed cell geometry, revealing the self-organization mechanisms underlying internally-driven epithelial convergent extension.
