A computational systems biology approach identifies a gene network module associated with single-cell mechanical phenotype changes across diverse mouse and human systems, with implications for on-demand engineering of cell stiffness.

Biophysical binding and structural prediction studies reveal that Tetraspanin12 directly binds the ligand Norrin, in a manner that is negatively cooperative with Norrin-Fzd4 binding and competitive with Norrin-LRP5/6 binding.

Kiss1^ARH neurons transition from synchronous to burst firing under preovulatory levels of E2, causing a shift from peptidergic to glutamatergic transmission that drives the GnRH surge through enhanced glutamate neurotransmission.

Marcks and Marcks-like 1 proteins are required for normal neurite formation and proliferation of neuro-glial progenitors during development and regeneration of the Xenopus spinal cord implicating these proteins as critical new factors for spinal cord development and regeneration.
