During sporulation, FtsAZ filaments mediating cell division in Bacillus subtilis are positioned asymmetrically around the septum only on the mother cell side, making the septum thinner than during vegetative growth.
Analysis of the osteochondral unit of aquatic mammals reveals a distinctly different tissue structure, lacking the arcade-like collagen fiber organization, a calcified cartilage layer and a dense subchondral bone plate, typically seen in osteochondral tissue of terrestrial mammals.
Parasite life cycles may be more flexible than traditionally thought, potentially allowing single-cell infections of insect vectors and transmission between hosts even at very low parasite densities.
SerialFIB is an adaptable open-source software designed for streamlining, advanced development and automation of cryo-focused ion beam-based cellular preparations for in situ cryo-electron tomography.
Regulation of cellular properties such as ligand secretion and migratory ability through changes in the cytoskeleton mediated by a Wnt5a–Ror2–Vangl2 axis is a major determinant of alveolar formation.

Approximately half of the associations identified between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and brain morphology in two large independent studies of adolescents are likely due to confounding bias by socioeconomic and parental behavioral factors.
