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.

SSH2, a Slingshot phosphatase required for male fertility, participates in acrosome biogenesis via the control of actin remodeling during spermatid development.

A retracting gradient of the transcription factor Tailless spatiotemporally patterns the Drosophila tail region by modulating the intrinsic dynamics of a regulatory network involving the timer genes caudal, Dichaete, and odd-paired.

A long-term multi-organ co-culture system coupled with quantitative imaging to visualize blood cell cycle progression, analyze polarized blood cell mitosis, and track blood cell differentiation kinetics during Drosophila hematopoiesis in homeostatic condition and following infection.

An insect-transmissible plant pathogen, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, uniquely excavates hypoxia to increase vector capacity via Muc91C-enhanced elasticity of tracheal tubes.
