Autofluorescence imaging permits label-free cell type identification in live airway tissue and reveals the dynamic formation of airway secretory cell associated antigen passages.

Genetic and chemical genetic analysis pinpoint defective epithelial cells as the driver for NPHP like phenotypes in Invs mutants, demonstrate genetic interaction between Invs and Ift88 and identify the HDAC inhibitor valproic acid as a suppressor for Invs mutant phenotypes.

Axon guidance genes are conserved regulators of neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster and human inducible motor neuron models of UBQLN2-associated amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Zebrafish genetics and sperm cryo-electron tomography reveal a novel function of Calaxin as a docking complex component stabilizing the outer arm dynein onto the ciliary doublet microtubule.

The highly metabolically active hair cells of the zebrafish lateral line have a distinct mitochondrial phenotype consisting of small mitochondria apically and large, networked mitochondrion basally, demonstrating a nonuniform mitochondrial architecture that is sculpted by cellular activity.

Tie1 is a binding partner for Svep1 in zebrafish and humans, and both genes (but not Tie2) are required during zebrafish lymphangiogenesis especially for the facial lymphatics, which in part develop independent of Vegfc.

The levels of the cytokine BAFF increase across senescence paradigms, in turn triggering a secretory phenotype in some senescent cells and activating p53 in other senescent cells.

Biochemistry, videomicroscopy, and immunocytochemistry reveal differential roles of GluA1/4.1N and GluA1/SAP97 interactions on GluA1 intracellular transport and exocytosis in basal transmission and during cLTP in cultured hippocampal neurons.

A proper balance of planar and perpendicular balances is critical to establishing proper epidermal architecture and is mediated by the opposing activities of LGN and its enigmatic paralog AGS3.

A human endogenous fusogen, syncytin, which facilitates placental cell-cell fusion during early embryonic development, mediates the formation of open-ended membrane tubular connections between other cell types that efficiently promotes the intercellular transfer of cytoplasmic cargos including Cas9 protein and organelles.
