Lumen formation by single epithelial cells depends on FGF-signalling-dependent expression of a spectraplakin, which can be functionally replaced by Tau.
Light signals adjusting the brain's daily clock induce distinct waveform changes in molecular clock gene rhythms at dawn and dusk, and trigger regionally differential clock changes.

Experience strengthens hunting in larval zebrafish by recruiting the forebrain to increase the prey-evoked activity in visual areas and trigger motor activity and prey capture.

Regulatory T cells produce analgesic opioid peptides that limit heat sensitivity in mice, revealing a novel pain regulation mechanism independent of inflammation control.
Severe COVID-19 is characterised by a plasma proteomic biomarker signature, indicating innate immune activation, leucocyte–endothelial interactions, and epithelial injury.
The utility of an in vitro cell culture system for studies of molecular mechanisms underlying the initial induction and subsequent propagation of environmentally induced epimutations is demonstrated.
Despite their extreme morphologies, snakes display a global regulatory strategy of their Hox genes similar to that implemented by mammals with, however, important modifications in enhancer specificity.

Analysis of adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL) deficiency in multiple experimental systems reveals cell and organismal phenotypes and impaired neurodevelopment due to the attenuation of ADSL's roles in distinct pathways.
