    The embryonic role of juvenile hormone in the firebrat, Thermobia domestica, reveals its function before its involvement in metamorphosis

    James W Truman, Lynn M Riddiford ... Michelle Herko
    This sesquiterpene hormone likely acted as a morphogenesis-to-differentiation switch in archaic embryos before it evolved its postembryonic function as the status quo regulator of insect metamorphosis.

    A single-cell atlas of the miracidium larva of Schistosoma mansoni reveals cell types, developmental pathways, and tissue architecture

    Teresa Attenborough, Kate A Rawlinson ... Matthew Berriman
    A comprehensive description of gene expression and organisation in the cells that constitute the blood fluke larvae responsible for finding and invading its intermediate host.

    Revealing a novel nociceptive network that links the subthalamic nucleus to pain processing

    Arnaud Pautrat, Marta Rolland ... Veronique Coizet
    The subthalamic nucleus is linked to a nociceptive network and involved in nociceptive processing and perception.

    α1-Adrenergic receptor–PKC–Pyk2–Src signaling boosts L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 activity and long-term potentiation in rodents

    Kwun Nok Mimi Man, Peter Bartels ... Johannes W Hell
    The α1-adrenergic receptor augments the activity of the L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 through PKC and the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Src and thereby synaptic plasticity.

    Mitochondrial phenotypes in purified human immune cell subtypes and cell mixtures

    Shannon Rausser, Caroline Trumpff ... Martin Picard
    A high-throughput mitochondrial phenotyping approach quantifies mitochondrial features among purified human immune cell subtypes and provides foundational knowledge to map inter- and intra-individual variation in mitochondrial energetics with high biological specificity.

    Exploring conformational equilibria of a heterodimeric ABC transporter

    M Hadi Timachi, Cedric AJ Hutter ... Enrica Bordignon
    A heterodimeric exporter exhibits conformational equilibria in the presence of nucleotides, suggesting a unified mechanistic model for the conformational cycle of ABC exporters.

    Stem cell topography splits growth and homeostatic functions in the fish gill

    Julian Stolper, Elizabeth Mayela Ambrosio ... Lazaro Centanin
    The fish gill, an ever-growing organ with fast turnover rate, displays dedicated stem-cell populations for growth and homeostasis that are interchangeable upon external challenges.

    Flatworm-specific transcriptional regulators promote the specification of tegumental progenitors in Schistosoma mansoni

    George R Wendt, Julie NR Collins ... James J Collins III
    The specification of tegumental progenitor cells in Schistosoma mansoni relies on a pair of flatworm-specific transcription factors that are related to genes regulating epidermal specification in free-living flatworms.

    A remarkable adaptive paradigm of heart performance and protection emerges in response to marked cardiac-specific overexpression of ADCY8

    Kirill V Tarasov, Khalid Chakir ... Edward G Lakatta
    Overexpression of hAC8 engages complex, coordinate adaptation 'circuity' that has evolved in mammalian cells to defend against stress that threatens health or life, and may be important for proper healing in disease states such as heart infarction or failure.

    The cryptic gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal system of human basal ganglia

    Katalin Skrapits, Miklós Sárvári ... Erik Hrabovszky
    Neuroanatomical studies reveal presence and cholinergic phenotype of 150,000-200,000 extrahypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in human basal ganglia and basal forebrain, and RNA-sequencing detects gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor-1 expression in cholinergic interneurons but not in spiny projection neurons of the human putamen.
