    R-spondin 3 deletion induces Erk phosphorylation to enhance Wnt signaling and promote bone formation in the appendicular skeleton

    Kenichi Nagano, Kei Yamana ... Roland Baron
    R-spondin3 global haplo-insufficiency or its deletion in pre-osteoblasts lead to gain of bone mass in the appendicular skeleton with no or opposite phenotype in the axial skeleton.

    Alternative splicing downstream of EMT enhances phenotypic plasticity and malignant behavior in colon cancer

    Tong Xu, Mathijs Verhagen ... Riccardo Fodde
    The identification of alternative splicing targets and upstream RNA-binding proteins that underlie EMT and metastasis in colon cancer stratifies patients according to their overall survival and provide new insights on the function of specific isoforms along the migrating cancer stem cell sequence.

    The landscape of transcriptional and translational changes over 22 years of bacterial adaptation

    John S Favate, Shun Liang ... Premal Shah
    Parallel changes in organismal evolution can be observed even with disparate genomic changes due to similarity in functional outcomes, such as changes in molecular phenotypes like gene expression patterns.
