The Rho kinases ROCK1 and 2 act redundantly in regulating cell proliferation and their depletion causes cellular senescence.

Dosage compensation does not take place in wild yeast strains.

In an investigation into the effects of drugs on proteins, an active machine learning algorithm chose which sets of experiments to perform and was able to learn an accurate model of the effects after doing only a fraction of the experiments.

A newly discovered cytoplasmic intermediate filament in water bears may help these animals to resist extreme environmental conditions.

Late morphogenesis of the insect extraembryonic epithelia involves transient formation of a basal-basal bilayer to coordinate the functional contributions of two discrete tissues.

An ancient complex comprising the eukaryotic elongation factor-1A and aminoacylated tRNA is shown to be the target of a cyclic heptapeptide and two unrelated natural products with potent anticancer activity.

The metalloprotease ADAM10 modulates axon and synapse function by cleaving numerous synaptic and axonal membrane proteins in the central nervous system.

A non-melanocortin G-protein coupled receptor is inhibited by the Melanocortin Receptor Accessory Protein 2 (MRAP2) to control food intake in mammals.

Localized silencing of damage-responsive enhancers can block regenerative growth while permitting those same genes to be used for normal development.
