Analysis of a variant without lysine in the intracellular domain reveals a ubiquitylation-independent signalling activity of the DSL ligand Delta and novel functions of the Neuralized and Mindbomb1 E3-ligases during Notch signalling.
Distributed cohesin rings flexibly tether the axial element structure of meiotic chromosomes to the underlying chromatin to readily accommodate ongoing transcription.
A novel role of endosomal machineries retromer and ESCRT in membrane delivery of Drosophila septate junction components is required for maintenance of junction integrity and epithelial barrier function.

Gene co-expression analysis identifies coherent transcriptional patterns driven by distinct cell types in the mouse incisor, and functional studies of candidate genes reveal how the tissues are maintained through stem cell-fueled renewal.

A multi-scale integration of experimental and computational approaches shows how a non-linear dependence of T-type calcium channel gating on GABAB receptor activity regulates thalamic network oscillations.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals that mouse embryonic stem cells can be differentiated into the same terminal motor neuron state via distinct differentiation paths, one of which includes a surprising intermediate state not found in embryos.

MRGPRD and MRGRPX1 are co-expressed in primate DRG neurons, but β-alanine and BAM8-22, preferentially activate CMH-subclasses, and co-activating different cutaneous nociceptors by pruritogens does not change itch sensation to pain.
Hinokiflavone is identified as a splicing modulator that blocks progression from spliceosome complex A to complex B and inhibits SUMO protease SENP1, causing hyper-SUMOylation affecting 6 U2 snRNP proteins.

A novel high-throughput FPGA-based multi-animal tracking and training system was used to demonstrate trace and operant conditioning in Drosophila larvae.

Sensory nerve fiber ending ensheathment and connexin 43 contacts by keratinocytes at the neuro-cutaneous unit can be visualized and quantified at super-resolution in human skin.
