A tumor-specific regulatory region has been identified upstream of the Myc oncogene.

Functional attachments between muscles and tendons require pentameric Thrombospondin-4, revealing novel roles both as an integrin ligand and extracellular matrix scaffold.

Mild myelin disruption leads to early axonal pathology, a novel pathological response in neural stem cells, regionally increased oligodendrocytes and altered behavior.

Autophagy is critical for the turnover of inflammatory signaling complexes containing RHIM-domain proteins.

The budding yeast kinesin Kip2 is a polymerase that uses its processive motility in a positive feedback loop to promote microtubule growth.

Inhibition reduces the neuronal representation of acoustic signals to enhance temporal precision in the auditory brainstem.

Node of Ranvier length is similar at successive nodes along single myelinated CNS axons, but differs between axons, and could potentially be tuned to adjust the conduction velocity of each axon.
