Tie1 is a binding partner for Svep1 in zebrafish and humans, and both genes (but not Tie2) are required during zebrafish lymphangiogenesis especially for the facial lymphatics, which in part develop independent of Vegfc.

Using fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), maturational changes in tissue microstructure can be derived using diffusion MRI which provide new insight into the fundamental neurobiological transitions occurring within the emerging thalamocortical white matter pathways.

Gut microbiota reshaped by myostatin gene variation has a positive effect on skeletal muscle growth by activating GPR43 through valeric acid, as a metabolite of gut microbiota.

The levels of the cytokine BAFF increase across senescence paradigms, in turn triggering a secretory phenotype in some senescent cells and activating p53 in other senescent cells.

Latrophilin-2 G protein coupling is required in axons but not target neurons for neural circuit assembly in the mouse hippocampus.

A proper balance of planar and perpendicular balances is critical to establishing proper epidermal architecture and is mediated by the opposing activities of LGN and its enigmatic paralog AGS3.

Systematically studying the expression, small RNA-binding partners, and loss-of-function phenotypes of all 19 Argonautes uncovers how small RNA regulatory pathways function and interact in Caenorhabditis elegans, a long-standing model for small RNA biology and RNAi.

Tissue-specific Cre recombinase often drives 'off-target' reporter activity in the male reproductive tract, suggesting the potential for inter-tissue RNA or protein trafficking in control of sperm maturation or other aspects of reproductive physiology.

Histone deacetylase 1 (Hdac1) plays a crucial role in maintaining differential histone acetylation states of enhancers in various germ layers and regulates the transcriptional program both temporally and spatially.

The transcriptomic and epigenetic landscapes of developing human articular and growth plate cartilage reveal putative gene regulatory networks governing lineage commitment and tissue homeostasis.
