    Dual roles for ATP in the regulation of phase separated protein aggregates in Xenopus oocyte nucleoli

    Michael H Hayes, Elizabeth H Peuchen ... Daniel L Weeks
    The equilibrium between solubility and aggregation of proteins in the nucleus is controlled by co-aggregates like RNA and the action of ATP as both an energy source and a destabilizing chemical agent.

    ZMYND10 functions in a chaperone relay during axonemal dynein assembly

    Girish R Mali, Patricia L Yeyati ... Pleasantine Mill
    Chaperoning defects in axonemal dynein subunits trigger proteostatic clearance of dynein motors opening up the possibility of trialling proteostasis modulators to treat the motile ciliopathy primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

    A new mode of pancreatic islet innervation revealed by live imaging in zebrafish

    Yu Hsuan Carol Yang, Koichi Kawakami, Didier YR Stainier
    A novel mode of organ innervation, whereby neurons establish connections with their targets before migrating away, was revealed by live imaging of the developing zebrafish pancreas.

    Vertex sliding drives intercalation by radial coupling of adhesion and actomyosin networks during Drosophila germband extension

    Timothy E Vanderleest, Celia M Smits ... Dinah Loerke
    Tricellular vertices possess sliding behaviors that harness radial forces and drive cell shape changes and intercalation in an epithelial tissue.

    Diversification of heart progenitor cells by EGF signaling and differential modulation of ETS protein activity

    Benjamin Schwarz, Dominik Hollfelder ... Ingolf Reim
    A novel regulatory model for the diversification of cardiac cell subpopulations in Drosophila is established by linking epidermal growth factor signaling with differential activities of key transcription factors.

    A novel source of arterial valve cells linked to bicuspid aortic valve without raphe in mice

    Lorriane Eley, Ahlam MS Alqahtani ... Deborah J Henderson
    Identification of a novel source of progenitor cells that form arterial valve leaflets and that, when disrupted, can lead to bicuspid arterial valve, the most common human cardiac malformation.

    Cellular aspect ratio and cell division mechanics underlie the patterning of cell progeny in diverse mammalian epithelia

    Kara L McKinley, Nico Stuurman ... Ronald D Vale
    The process of cytokinesis can allow cell lineages to intermix in mammalian epithelia, and cellular aspect ratio is a critical modulator of this behavior.

    TALE factors use two distinct functional modes to control an essential zebrafish gene expression program

    Franck Ladam, William Stanney ... Charles G Sagerström
    TALE transcription factors bind different genomic motifs and function together with different protein partners at different stages of zebrafish embryogenesis.
