    The Brm-HDAC3-Erm repressor complex suppresses dedifferentiation in Drosophila type II neuroblast lineages

    Chwee Tat Koe, Song Li ... Hongyan Wang
    A novel complex composed of various components of a chromatin remodeling complex, a chromatin remodeling factor and a transcription factor suppresses the dedifferentiation of intermediate neural progenitors back into neuroblasts in Drosophila.

    Forkhead transcription factor FKH-8 cooperates with RFX in the direct regulation of sensory cilia in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Rebeca Brocal-Ruiz, Ainara Esteve-Serrano ... Nuria Flames
    In sensory ciliated neurons, FoxN4 Forkhead (FKH) transcription factors directly coregulate transcription of ciliome genes together with RFX transcription factors, a similar regulatory logic to what is found for motile-cilium cell types, suggesting an ancestral origin for this partnership.

    A protein phosphatase network controls the temporal and spatial dynamics of differentiation commitment in human epidermis

    Ajay Mishra, Bénédicte Oulès ... Fiona M Watt
    A combination of transcriptomics, proteomics and modelling identifies a network of interacting protein phosphatases that act as a biological switch to move cells from the stem cell compartment to the differentiated compartment in cultured human epidermis.

    Keratin 14-dependent disulfides regulate epidermal homeostasis and barrier function via 14-3-3σ and YAP1

    Yajuan Guo, Catherine J Redmond ... Pierre A Coulombe
    Keratin filaments are revealed as novel regulators of entry into terminal differentiation in the epidermis via an ability to modulate YAP1 function and Hippo signaling.

    RNA-binding proteins direct myogenic cell fate decisions

    Joshua R Wheeler, Oscar N Whitney ... Bradley B Olwin
    Temporally regulated RNA-binding proteins orchestrate RNA splicing to drive myogenesis.

    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.

    Polycomb- and REST-associated histone deacetylases are independent pathways toward a mature neuronal phenotype

    James C McGann, Jon A Oyer ... Gail Mandel
    Poised neuronal genes are repressed by REST and Polycomb in embryonic stem cells independently and via different chromatin modifications.

    The REST remodeling complex protects genomic integrity during embryonic neurogenesis

    Tamilla Nechiporuk, James McGann ... Gail Mandel
    The untimely loss of the transcriptional repressor REST from dividing neural progenitors during embryogenesis leads to compromised genomic integrity.

    Developmental alterations in centrosome integrity contribute to the post-mitotic state of mammalian cardiomyocytes

    David C Zebrowski, Silvia Vergarajauregui ... Felix B Engel
    Mammal hearts are unable to replace lost cardiomyocytes, which may be due to the loss of centrosome integrity in these cells after birth.
