    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.

    Fat body-derived cytokine Upd2 controls disciplined migration of tracheal stem cells in Drosophila

    Pengzhen Dong, Yue Li ... Hai Huang
    Long-range communication between neighboring organs orchestrates the disciplined migration of stem cells.

    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.

    Mutations that prevent phosphorylation of the BMP4 prodomain impair proteolytic maturation of homodimers leading to lethality in mice

    Hyung-Seok Kim, Mary L Sanchez ... Jan L Christian
    Phosphorylation of the BMP4 prodomain is required for proteolytic activation of BMP4 homodimers, but not BMP4/7 heterodimers.

    Comparative analysis of the syncytiotrophoblast in placenta tissue and trophoblast organoids using snRNA sequencing

    Madeline M Keenen, Liheng Yang ... Carolyn B Coyne
    Trophoblast organoids recapitulate syncytiotrophoblast nuclear heterogeneity and reveal environment-dependent gene regulation critical for placental hormone production and differentiation.

    Commissureless acts as a substrate adapter in a conserved Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway to promote axon growth across the midline

    Kelly G Sullivan, Greg J Bashaw
    Commissureless works with the Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase to transiently degrade the Robo1 receptor to allow commissural axons to cross the midline.
