Eprhin B1 in the cardiomyocyte regulates the maturation of the adult surface crest architecture and of the diastolic function during a late postnatal stage in rodents.

Mir155 showed a catabolic effect on osteogenesis and bone mass phenotype via interaction with the S1pr1 gene, suggesting inhibition of Mir155 as a potential approach to bone regeneration and bone defect healing.

Parasites constrict as they propel themselves through the extracellular matrix one body length at a time, in a process highly reminiscent of host cell invasion.

Dominant mutations in Arl3, linked to inherited retinal dystrophy, disrupt the active Arl3-GTP ciliary gradient and cause a defect in rod photoreceptor nuclear migration that can be rescued by elevating ciliary Arl3 activity or reducing aberrant non-ciliary Arl3 activity.

Molecular timekeeping in Neurospora crassa is robust even under severe limitation of carbon sources and the efficient adaptation to changing nutrient availability is dependent on the positive component of the circadian clock.

Hextuple knockout of key active zone proteins strongly reduces the pool of synaptic vesicles available for release, but synapse formation persists.

Overexpression of hAC8 engages complex, coordinate adaptation 'circuity' that has evolved in mammalian cells to defend against stress that threatens health or life, and may be important for proper healing in disease states such as heart infarction or failure.

Bayesian inference identifies hidden dynamics underlying noisy cell division data.

Specific gene knockout and signaling inhibition studies indicate the activation of β-catenin-bone morphogenetic protein signaling contributes to the development of fibular hemimelia disease.

Different fixation protocols can both enhance and diminish the appearance of liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) droplets presenting a caveat in using fixed-cell imaging to diagnose LLPS.
