    Unified bursting strategies in ectopic and endogenous even-skipped expression patterns

    Augusto Berrocal, Nicholas C Lammers ... Michael B Eisen
    Drosophila melanogastereven-skipped enhancers control transcriptional bursting by modulating frequency and amplitude, regardless of varying transcription factor inputs, even when mutated to express in embryonic regions not under selective pressure.

    Rescuable sleep and synaptogenesis phenotypes in a Drosophila model of O-GlcNAc transferase intellectual disability

    Ignacy Czajewski, Bijayalaxmi Swain ... Daan MF van Aalten
    Modelling O-GlcNAc transferase intellectual disability reveals the roles of this post-translational modification in regulating normal axonal terminal morphology and maintaining appropriate sleep homeostasis, pharmacological and genetic rescues of O-GlcNAcylation highlight the complexities of addressing this disorder.

    Lineage-specific intersection of endothelin and GDNF signaling in enteric nervous system development

    Denise M Poltavski, Alexander T Cunha ... Takako Makita
    Neural crest and placode lineages both contribute to the enteric nervous system, divergently utilizing Edn3-Ednrb and GDNF-Ret signaling.

    Maternal obesity may disrupt offspring metabolism by inducing oocyte genome hyper-methylation via increased DNMTs

    Shuo Chao, Jun Lu ... Zhao-Jia Ge
    Maternal obesity mouse model reveal that melatonin deficiency causes the genomic hyper-methylation of oocytes via increasing the expression of DNA methyltransferases.

    Distinct functions of three Wnt proteins control mirror-symmetric organogenesis in the C. elegans gonad

    Shuhei So, Masayo Asakawa, Hitoshi Sawa
    The mirror-symmetric structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans gonad is established through the Wnt-independent function of a Frizzled protein and three Wnt proteins with distinct roles.

    Spinal neural tube formation and tail development in human embryos

    Chloe Santos, Abigail R Marshall ... Andrew J Copp
    Analysis of 108 human embryos aged 3–7 weeks reveals modes of primary and secondary neurulation, regulation of body elongation, somite formation rate, and common occurrence of a split neural tube.

    Modeling corticotroph deficiency with pituitary organoids supports the functional role of NFKB2 in human pituitary differentiation

    Thi Thom Mac, Teddy Fauquier ... Thierry Brue
    Pituitary organoids help identify NFKB2 as a new actor during pituitary development, and mutations of this gene as the cause for pituitary deficit observed in patients with DAVID syndrome.
