Drosophila macrophages are a heterogeneous population of cells containing subpopulations with enhanced responses to injury that display considerable variation in their abundance across development.
The cisternae of the Golgi contain two functionally distinct domains: the central areas, which remain stationary, and the edges or rims, which are mobile.
The CAF1 complex binds single histone H3-H4 dimers, and two such complexes associate with extended DNA elements to ensure the deposition of H3-H4 tetramers, the first step in the assembly of nucleosomes.
Integrated ecological and genetic methods show that Bursicon signaling pathway and miR-6012 regulate the transition from summer-form to winter-form in Cacopsylla chinensis through affecting cuticle pigment and cuticle thickness.
Unlike all other mammals studied to date, the age-specific risk of mortality for naked mole-rats did not increase over decades of life, identifying this species as a non-aging mammal.

In response to disruption of barrier functions mediated by septate junctions, Drosophila epithelial cells restrict endosomal degradation of transmembrane cell adhesion proteins to promote their recycling in order to maintain tissue integrity.
Vanilloid sensitivity has been introduced into the TRPV2 channel, revealing that the gating and permeation properties of this enigmatic TRP channel are remarkably similar to the capsaicin receptor.

Alternative first exon usage was the major event observed in macrophages during inflammation, which resulted in the elucidation of a novel isoform and regulatory mechanism of the protein-coding gene, Aim2.
