    Planar cell polarity coordination in a cnidarian embryo provides clues to animal body axis evolution

    Julie Uveira, Antoine Donati ... Tsuyoshi Momose
    The jellyfish embryonic body axis is globally coordinated by conserved planar cell polarity (PCP) mechanisms and oriented by localised Wnt3 in two steps, highlighting PCP’s role in animal axis evolution.

    Human eIF2A has a minimal role in translation initiation and in uORF-mediated translational control in HeLa cells

    Mykola Roiuk, Marilena Neff, Aurelio A Teleman
    Although eIF2A is thought to be a translation initiation factor, loss of eIF2A has no effect on cellular mRNA translation in either unstressed or stressed conditions.
