The shutoff of aerobic glycolysis in neuronal differentiation is essential for neuronal survival.

Glucocorticoid receptor directly regulates the transcriptional activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated alpha (PPARα) before birth in anticipation of the sudden shifts in the postnatal nutrient source and metabolic demands.

A novel mechanism links two myosins associated with deafness in auditory organs.

Lineage-specific regulatory loops involving evolutionarily conserved myogenic Transcription Factors control muscle identity specification in Drosophila.

Zebrafish have lubricated joints similar to ours and are a tractable model for arthritis research.

Clonal tracing in vivo and quantitative modeling in silico reveal a unique mode of tissue growth and structural remodeling of the biliary system, providing an insight into the cellular basis for robust liver regeneration.

A Na,K-ATPase beta subunit can suppress basal cell carcinogenesis either via its osmoregulatory function to avoid hypotonic stress, or by promoting epithelial polarity and adhesiveness of basal keratinocytes from the overlying outer layer.

The mechanistic basis of molecular movement and interactions within plant root cells can be quantified using scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.

The vertebrate testis-determining gene, Sox9, also controls adult testis maintenance in mammals, acting redundantly with its paralog Sox8.
