    Stereotyped terminal axon branching of leg motor neurons mediated by IgSF proteins DIP-α and Dpr10

    Lalanti Venkatasubramanian, Zhenhao Guo ... Richard S Mann
    Ig domain family members DIP-alpha and Dpr10 are required in a subset of Drosophila leg motor neurons and muscles, respectively, to establish their fine terminal branching pattern and synapses.

    Motion sensing superpixels (MOSES) is a systematic computational framework to quantify and discover cellular motion phenotypes

    Felix Y Zhou, Carlos Ruiz-Puig ... Xin Lu
    A new computational framework provides a flexible and general approach for single and collective biological motion characterisation and phenotyping ideally suited for high-throughput timelapse screens.

    Venous endothelin modulates responsiveness of cardiac sympathetic axons to arterial semaphorin

    Denise M Poltavski, Pauline Colombier ... Takako Makita
    Second-order guidance, a novel mechanism by which an initial guidance cue controls expression of a second guidance receptor, is required for precise refinement of axon trajectories during PNS development.

    JNK-dependent cell cycle stalling in G2 promotes survival and senescence-like phenotypes in tissue stress

    Andrea Cosolo, Janhvi Jaiswal ... Anne-Kathrin Classen
    Tissue damage induces a reversible cell cycle arrest in G2, which promotes survival and mitogenic signals to facilitate tissue regeneration but drives senescence-like phenotypes under chronic stress conditions.

    Reactivation of a developmental Bmp2 signaling center is required for therapeutic control of the murine periosteal niche

    Valerie S Salazar, Luciane P Capelo ... Vicki Rosen
    A periosteal Bmp2 signaling center couples bone length to bone width during development and must be reactivated by clinical bone anabolic therapies to reduce fracture risk and accelerate fracture repair.

    Temporal identity establishes columnar neuron morphology, connectivity, and function in a Drosophila navigation circuit

    Luis F Sullivan, Timothy L Warren, Chris Q Doe
    The Eyeless/Pax6 temporal transcription factor generates neuronal identity, connectivity, and flight navigation behavior within the conserved adult brain structure called the central complex.

    The cellular basis of mechanosensory Merkel-cell innervation during development

    Blair A Jenkins, Natalia M Fontecilla ... Ellen A Lumpkin
    Touch-sensitive neurons are patterned during mammalian skin development by placode-derived keratinocytes and Bone Morphogenetic Protein signaling.

    The proneural wave in the Drosophila optic lobe is driven by an excitable reaction-diffusion mechanism

    David J Jörg, Elizabeth E Caygill ... Benjamin D Simons
    A model of signalling pathways interacting with proneural gene expression explains the sequential patterning of the largest visual processing centre in the developing Drosophila brain.

    zGrad is a nanobody-based degron system that inactivates proteins in zebrafish

    Naoya Yamaguchi, Tugba Colak-Champollion, Holger Knaut
    The F-box/anti-GFP nanobody fusion protein zGrad depletes GFP-tagged proteins with spatial and temporal control in zebrafish.

    The modular mechanism of chromocenter formation in Drosophila

    Madhav Jagannathan, Ryan Cummings, Yukiko M Yamashita
    Cell biological study reveals the mechanism by which multiple satellite-DNA-binding proteins cooperate to form chromocenter to encapsulate the full complement of chromosomes.
