Tracheal-derived matrix metalloproteinase 1 activity sustains tracheal branch invasion into myotubes by modulating ECM properties and dynamic behavior of sprouting tip cells.

The epidermis uses regulated spindle orientation to maintain robust homeostasis in response to perturbations in proliferation or differentiation.

An easy-to-implement antibody validation pipeline addresses the reproducibility crisis resulting from the use of non-specific antibodies.

A genetic screen in a unicellular photosynthetic organism uncovers the first essential signaling component in the chloroplast unfolded protein response that relays information from the chloroplast to the nuclear compartment.

A genetic screen has identified the first signaling component of the unfolded protein response in chloroplasts.

Oocyte maturation and ovulation in the sister group of vertebrates, Ciona intestinalis Type A, are triggered by Ci-VP, the Ciona homolog of a typical neruopeptide, vasopressin.

Endogenous BMP2/7 and BMP4/7 heterodimers form in vivo, and are the predominant functional ligand in many, if not all, tissues of developing mouse embryos.

Hsp70 restricts DNA binding activity of Hsf1 to control the width and amplitude of the heat-shock regulon.

Mechanical stimuli activate Piezo1 in osteoblast lineage cells and thereby promote bone formation in part via Wnt1.

How does the skeleton detect and adapt to changes in the mechanical load it has to carry?
