   The dynamic transmission of positional information in stau^- mutants during Drosophila embryogenesis

   Zhe Yang et al.

   In stau^-mutants, the Hunchback boundary shifts posteriorly by 10% EL but shows comparable variability to that of the wild type in short time windows in nuclear cycle 14.

   Generation of inner ear hair cells by direct lineage conversion of primary somatic cells

   Louise Menendez et al.

   Direct reprogramming of somatic cells to an inner ear sensory hair cell-like state provides an experimental platform to identify causes and treatments for hair cell loss and hearing deficits.

   Tgfβ signaling is required for tenocyte recruitment and functional neonatal tendon regeneration

   Deepak A Kaji et al.

   TGFß signaling regulates migration of tenogenic cells from Scx- and non-Scx lineages and is required for functional regeneration after neonatal tendon injury.

   A Tgfbr1/Snai1-dependent developmental module at the core of vertebrate axial elongation

   André Dias et al.

   During vertebrate axial extension, the tail bud originates from the activation of a developmental module in a subset of axial progenitors, concurrent but different to gastrulation.

   Genome editing enables reverse genetics of multicellular development in the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta

   David S Booth, Nicole King

   Genome editing in the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta opens newfound possibilities to functionally probe choanoflagellate genes that may illuminate the origin of their closest relatives, the animals.

   Slow oscillation-spindle coupling predicts enhanced memory formation from childhood to adolescence

   Michael A Hahn et al.

   An individualized cross-frequency coupling approach identified slow oscillation-spindle coupling strength as a novel mechanism that mediates memory formation during cortical maturation.

    Low FoxO expression in Drosophila somatosensory neurons protects dendrite growth under nutrient restriction

    Amy R Poe et al.

    The development of Drosophila somatosensory neurons is spared under nutrient deficiency so that they grow more dendrites and make animals more sensitive to environmental stimuli.
