    An epithelial signalling centre in sharks supports homology of tooth morphogenesis in vertebrates

    Alexandre P Thiery, Ariane SI Standing ... Gareth J Fraser
    The development of diverse tooth shapes among vertebrates, from sharks to mammals, is a highly conserved process, utilising a similar dental signalling centre for more than 400 million years.

    Predicted glycosyltransferases promote development and prevent spurious cell clumping in the choanoflagellate S. rosetta

    Laura A Wetzel, Tera C Levin ... Nicole King
    A genetic screen reveals that two predicted glycosyltransferases promote rosette development and prevent cell clumping in one of the closest living relatives of animals, the choanoflagellate S. rosetta.

    Genetic stability of Mycobacterium smegmatis under the stress of first-line antitubercular agents

    Dániel Molnár, Éva Viola Surányi ... Judit Toth
    A combined approach of genome sequencing and fluctuation assays shows that antibiotic pressure does not induce adaptive mutations in Mycobacterium smegmatis, supporting drug resistance as a consequence of phenotypic tolerance.

    Developmental variability channels mouse molar evolution

    Luke Hayden, Katerina Lochovska ... Sophie Pantalacci
    The nature and extent of developmental variation seen between mouse strains and genetically identical individuals explain why the first upper molar evolves along preferred path in murine rodents.

    Selective dendritic localization of mRNA in Drosophila mushroom body output neurons

    Jessica Mitchell, Carlas S Smith ... Scott Waddell
    Specific mRNAs localize to the dendrites of Drosophila mushroom body output neurons.

    Charcot-Marie-Tooth 2B mutations in rab7 cause dosage-dependent neurodegeneration due to partial loss of function

    Smita Cherry, Eugene Jennifer Jin ... P Robin Hiesinger
    Mutations that reduce the functioning of rab7 may underlie the degeneration of sensory and motor nerves in Charcot-Marie-Tooth 2B disease, which suggests increasing endolysosomal function as a therapy.

    Ki-67 is a PP1-interacting protein that organises the mitotic chromosome periphery

    Daniel G Booth, Masatoshi Takagi ... Paola Vagnarelli
    The mitotic chromosome periphery is organised by the PP1 binding protein Ki-67 and contributes to nucleolar re-activation upon mitotic exit.

    Defining human mesenchymal and epithelial heterogeneity in response to oral inflammatory disease

    Ana J Caetano, Val Yianni ... Paul Sharpe
    Single cell transcriptomic analysis provides a reference map for human oral muscosa in health and disease and a framework for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

    Contractile acto-myosin network on nuclear envelope remnants positions human chromosomes for mitosis

    Alexander JR Booth, Zuojun Yue ... Tomoyuki U Tanaka
    Live-cell imaging shows that the contractile acto-myosin network on the nuclear envelope remnant positions chromosomes in early mitosis to ensure efficient and correct interactions between chromosomes and the mitotic spindle.

    Enhanced ER-associated degradation of HMG CoA reductase causes embryonic lethality associated with Ubiad1 deficiency

    Youngah Jo, Steven S Kim ... Russell A DeBose-Boyd
    Embryonic lethality associated with deficiency of UBIAD1, which synthesizes a vitamin K2 subtype, results from aberrant ER-associated degradation of the cholesterol biosynthetic enzyme HMG CoA reductase.
