The elongation rate of RNA Polymerase II varies greatly between and along genes, as this enzyme accelerates from stable pausing to rapid elongation within genes, and is influenced by CG-content, exons and chromatin.

Analysis of epigenome maps from human pancreatic progenitors and functional validation in zebrafish identify LAMA1 and CRB2 as type 2 diabetes risk-associated genes with roles in pancreatic development.

A novel population of hematopoietic cells unmasked by mTORC1 inactivation reveals a new mechanism of innate immune tolerance and a new consequence of defective hematopoiesis.

Serum exosomal sequencing combined with cell and animal experiments indicate that miRNA-199b-5p is a novel miRNA associated with osteoarthritis (OA) and can modulate the onset and progression of the disease.

Post-implantation epiblast maturation and patterning of anterior-posterior axis in mouse embryonic development are mediated by pluripotency transcription factor Zfp281 through transcriptional and epigenetic control of Nodal signaling.

Mirlet7 functions as a molecular brake of CD8⁺IL17a⁺ T cells (Tc17) inflammation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease via direct regulation RAR-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt).

Weakly migratory cancer cells facilitate their own escape from the primary tumor by releasing microvesicles that activate fibroblasts to remodel matrix and facilitate cancer cell metastasis.

Feedback sensing of the intracellular calcium concentration suffices to reproduce the diversity of ionic conductances underlying normal cardiac electromechanical function in a genetically diverse population of mice.

Engineered E3 ubiquitin ligases are utilized to elucidate mechanisms underlying ubiquitin regulation of membrane proteins, and to achieve robust post-translational functional knockdown of ion channels.
