    Caenorhabditis elegans PIEZO channel coordinates multiple reproductive tissues to govern ovulation

    Xiaofei Bai, Jeff Bouffard ... Andy Golden
    Depletion of the mechanosensitive ion channel PEZO-1 in C. elegans disrupts the sheath and spermathecae cells to disrupt oocyte ovulation, resulting in crushed oocytes.

    The photosystem I supercomplex from a primordial green alga Ostreococcus tauri harbors three light-harvesting complex trimers

    Asako Ishii, Jianyu Shan ... Jun Minagawa
    The structure of the photosystem I (PSI) supercomplex in Ostreococcus tauri has revealed a unique hybrid of both plant-type and green algal-type PSI supercomplexes with three Lhcp trimers located at the ‘state 2’ position.

    Precardiac deletion of Numb and Numblike reveals renewal of cardiac progenitors

    Lincoln T Shenje, Peter Andersen ... Chulan Kwon
    Cardiac progenitors remain undifferentiated and expansive in the second pharyngeal arch that serves as a microenvironment, and Numb and Numblike are required for their renewal.

    Logics and properties of a genetic regulatory program that drives embryonic muscle development in an echinoderm

    Carmen Andrikou, Chih-Yu Pai ... Maria Ina Arnone
    A gene regulatory network model provides a simplified explanation of the molecular interactions that orchestrate muscle development in the sea urchin embryo.

    A chronic signaling TGFb zebrafish reporter identifies immune response in melanoma

    Haley R Noonan, Alexandra M Thornock ... Leonard I Zon
    An in vivo reporter of TGFb signaling in zebrafish reveals that melanoma cells undergoing chronic TGFb signaling up-regulate extracellular matrix genes, down-regulate IFN, and are preferentially phagocytosed by macrophages compared to non-TGFb responsive melanoma cells.

    Multivalency regulates activity in an intrinsically disordered transcription factor

    Sarah Clark, Janette B Myers ... Elisar J Barbar
    Binding of multiple LC8 copies to the intrinsically disordered region of the transcription factor ASCIZ exemplifies a new and potentially widespread molecular mechanism for negative feedback regulation.

    Induction of human somatostatin and parvalbumin neurons by expressing a single transcription factor LIM homeobox 6

    Fang Yuan, Xin Chen ... Yan Liu
    Inducing expression of a single transcription factor LIM homeobox 6 showed efficient generation of human parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons.

    Axon TRAP reveals learning-associated alterations in cortical axonal mRNAs in the lateral amygdala

    Linnaea E Ostroff, Emanuela Santini ... Eric Klann
    A diverse assortment of mRNAs are present in projection axons in the adult forebrain and their translation is associated with new memory formation.
