Heterodyne low-coherence interferometry demonstrates that the latency of the sound-induced reticular lamina vibration is significantly greater than that of the basilar membrane vibration in living gerbil cochleae.
The polo-like kinase (Plk1) phophorylates the C. elegans lamin LMN-1 to promote timely lamina disassembly, which is essential for the merging of the parental chromosomes at the beginning of life.

Mechanically induced injury of zebrafish lateral-line organs shares key features of damage observed in noise-exposed mammalian ears, such as inflammation and synapse loss, yet, unlike mammals, rapidly repairs following damage.
A non-coding RNA-based targeting mechanism could potentially epigenetically maintain specialized chromatin structures, such as the centromere, in vivo.

By examining the relationship between spike timing and the phase of the LFP across cortical layers, researchers can use a stereotyped phase-coupling pattern as a diagnostic marker for electrode depth when other methods of electrode placement are ambiguous.
Artificial selection on wing color and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of the optix gene both alter scale lamina thickness in Junonia coenia, which shifts structural color wavelength and mimics macroevolutionary butterfly diversity.

Lamin B receptor may provide a long-sought model system enabling unprecedented studies of protein quality control in the nuclear envelope of mammalian cells.
An open-source tool for computational simulations of the human genome has been introduced, enabling the characterization of complex nuclear environments and the interpretation of experimental observations.
