A computational tool developed to construct three-dimensional anatomical atlases from two-dimensional data generates volumetrically complete and aligned atlases for all stages of development in the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas.
Macrophages use integrin-dependent 3D movement and cell protrusiveness, which control cell motility and space exploration as a prerequisite for optimal clearance of particles and dead cells by macrophage networks.

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD3 (NP_115609.2) was identified as the actin-specific histidine N-methyltransferase, an enzyme catalyzing the extremely well-conserved methylation of H73 in β-actin.
Analysis of a variant without lysine in the intracellular domain reveals a ubiquitylation-independent signalling activity of the DSL ligand Delta and novel functions of the Neuralized and Mindbomb1 E3-ligases during Notch signalling.

Genetic and cytological analyses reveal a regulatory circuit that controls a key cell cycle transition during meiosis and mediates feedback regulation in response to meiotic defects.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) folding sensor UGGT1 essentially cooperates with the peptide editor TAPBPR to provide quality control of MHC I molecules in the antigen presentation pathway.

Despite the virus' error prone polymerase, influenza virus antigenic evolution is rare, even in previously immune hosts, virus replication occurs before producing new antibodies.
An unusual molecular mechanism has been revealed based on ultrastable histidine cluster co-aggregation underlying feedback control of an ancient cell communication pathway.
