   Tuning of delta-protocadherin adhesion through combinatorial diversity

   Adam J Bisogni et al.

   Combinatorial expression patterns of δ-Pcdhs are defined within single neurons, and in vitro assays are employed to establish guiding principles used by this gene family to mediate cell adhesion.

   Arid3a regulates nephric tubule regeneration via evolutionarily conserved regeneration signal-response enhancers

   Nanoka Suzuki et al.

   Arid3a, a component of H3K9 me3 demethylases, regulates regeneration of the proximal nephric tubule through the evolutionarily conserved regeneration signal-response enhancer.
