    In mice, discrete odors can selectively promote the neurogenesis of sensory neuron subtypes that they stimulate

    Kawsar Hossain, Madeline Smith ... Stephen W Santoro
    The neurogenesis rates of some olfactory sensory neuron subtypes are selectively accelerated in mice that are exposed to odors that stimulate those subtypes.

    Stimulatory and inhibitory G-protein signaling relays drive cAMP accumulation for timely metamorphosis in the chordate Ciona

    Akiko Hozumi, Nozomu M Totsuka ... Yasunori Sasakura
    Ascidian larvae use cAMP as the molecular timer to infer the timing initiating metamorphosis.

    Glycolytic flux controls retinal progenitor cell differentiation via regulating Wnt signaling

    Joseph Hanna, Yacine Touahri ... Carol Schuurmans
    Transgenic and pharmacological approaches reveal developmental elevations in glycolytic flux have an instructive role in promoting rod photoreceptor differentiation and maturation via activation of Wnt signaling.

    Microglia are required for developmental specification of AgRP innervation in the hypothalamus of offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diet during lactation

    Haley N Mendoza-Romero, Jessica E Biddinger ... Richard Simerly
    Hypothalamic microglia play an essential role in mediating changes to feeding circuitry caused by exposure to maternal HFD that may contribute to developmental programming of metabolic phenotype.

    BCAS2 promotes primitive hematopoiesis by sequestering β-catenin within the nucleus

    Guozhu Ning, Yu Lin ... Qiang Wang
    BCAS2 directly binds to the Armadillo repeats 9–12 of β-catenin via the coiled-coil domains, sequestering β-catenin within the nucleus and thereby promoting Wnt signaling during primitive hematopoiesis.

    A library of lineage-specific driver lines connects developing neuronal circuits to behavior in the Drosophila ventral nerve cord

    Jelly HM Soffers, Erin Beck ... Haluk Lacin
    A temporally stable and cell-type-specific genetic driver library provides the means to access and manipulate neuronal lineages in the fly nervous system during development and adulthood.

    Oviductin sets the species-specificity of the mammalian zona pellucida

    Daniel de la Fuente, Maria Maroto ... Alfonso Gutierrez-Adan
    The oocyte zona pellucida needs to interact with an oviduct protein called OVGP1 to ensure that only sperm from the same species can fertilize the egg.
