    A unique multi-synaptic mechanism involving acetylcholine and GABA regulates dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens through early adolescence in male rats

    Melody C Iacino, Taylor A Stowe ... Mark J Ferris
    A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.

    SPAG7 deletion causes intrauterine growth restriction, resulting in adulthood obesity and metabolic dysfunction

    Stephen E Flaherty III, Olivier Bezy ... Zhidan Wu
    Investigation of mouse models from forward mutagenetic screen reveals that the gene Spag7 is essential for embryonic development and energy homeostasis later in life.

    Spatiotemporal changes in Netrin/Dscam1 signaling dictate axonal projection direction in Drosophila small ventral lateral clock neurons

    Jingjing Liu, Yuedong Wang ... Yao Tian
    Dynamic local microenvironments in Drosophila facilitate axonal projection direction transitions in the absence of clear landmarks.

    Hippo pathway-mediated YAP1/TAZ inhibition is essential for proper pancreatic endocrine specification and differentiation

    Yifan Wu, Kunhua Qin ... Pei Wang
    Loss of YAP1/TAZ expression in the pancreatic endocrine compartment is not a passive consequence of endocrine specification, rather, Hippo pathway-mediated inhibition of YAP1/TAZ in endocrine progenitors is a prerequisite for endocrine specification and differentiation.

    Temporally resolved early bone morphogenetic protein-driven transcriptional cascade during human amnion specification

    Nikola Sekulovski, Jenna C Wettstein ... Kenichiro Taniguchi
    Analyses of transcriptomic dynamics in a new model of human amnion formation identify five continuous amniogenic transcriptional phases as well as a critical role of TFAP2A in amnion fate progression.

    Drosophila medulla neuroblast termination via apoptosis, differentiation, and gliogenic switch is scheduled by the depletion of the neuroepithelial stem cell pool

    Phuong-Khanh Nguyen, Louise Y Cheng
    The termination of medulla neuroblasts is specified by the depletion of the neuroepithelium and mediated by apoptosis, differentiation, and gliogenic switch.
