Identification of a novel role for the transcriptional repressor, MAF1, and RNA polymerase III-dependent transcription, in osteoblast differentiation, mineralization, and bone biology.

DExCon, LUXon, and DExogron approaches simultaneously block endogenous gene expression and permit tuning of re-expression levels in time and space; proof-of-principle reveals unforeseen differences in protein kinetics, cargo handling, and cell migration regulation between closely related Rab11 family members.

Optogenetic and electrical stimulation of primary visual cortex neurons reveals synaptic and cell-intrinsic mechanisms that underlie neuronal ensemble formation.

Substrate rigidity modulates genomic stress in the epidermal basal cells of the developing zebrafish embryo and Yap1 and Wwtr1 are required for its survival.

Cellular and vacuolar size expansion are coordinated.

The reduction of bicarbonate secretion into the airways reproduces cystic fibrosis-like features, independently of chloride secretion.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids facilitate or impede Kv7 channel activation, depending on channel subtype and their dominant functional site(s).

Monounsaturated fatty acids protect against DKD by enhancing membrane fluidity and decreasing ER lipid bilayer stress in renal proximal tubules.

Late effects of radiation therapy in mice can be prevented by treatment with either senolytics navitoclax or quercetin plus dasatinib or the senostatic metformin.

B-cell integrin co-stimulation promotes the formation of an actomyosin network that drives integrin-dependent immune synapse formation and B-cell activation.
