Partially overlapping functions of a limited subset of actin binding proteins allow the parasite Toxoplasma gondii to achieve actin regulation required for complex cellular processes.

The Aire-dependent genes show a preference for short 3’UTR transcript isoforms resulting in the escape from the post-transcriptional repression mediated by miRNAs in medullary thymic epithelial cells.

Purification of two conserved protein complexes, the γ-TuRC and Augmin, using a simple affinity technique, demonstrates that they are necessary and sufficient for the essential phenomenon of branching microtubule nucleation.

An efficient response to DNA damage requires the assembly of actin filaments in the nucleus.

Giant ankyrin-B enables the transduction of Sema 3A repelling cues and is important for normal axonal connectivity.

Stimulus-receptivity loss increases coupling of a sensory neuron to a second sensory circuit by upregulating neuropeptide receptors, enhancing output of the second circuit, and providing a mechanism for cross-modal plasticity.

Palmitoleic acid not only potentiates vancomycin killing of Gram-positive bacteria, but the insertion of palmitoleic acid into the membrane leads to the unexpected accumulation of membrane-bound cell wall precursors, representing a novel mechanism of action for unsaturated fatty acids.

SiR does not revert to wild type when produced in high-TEVp cell lines, is non-toxic in vivo, maintains transsynaptic spreading capabilities and revertant mutations do not accumulate during in vivo experiments.

Selective removal of Wall Teichoic Acids from the envelope of Streptococcus pneumoniae prevents bacteriolysis and directs zonal cell wall synthesis.

The speed-accuracy tradeoff could be a consequence of motor planning variability and not exclusively signal-dependent noise, as is currently held.
