Highlights

  • The evolution of effectors

    Pathogens that cause abnormal growths called galls in plants rely on effector molecules with structures and targeting strategies that are conserved across evolutionary lineages.

  • Modelling archaeal membranes

    Archaea use single-headed and double-headed lipids to construct cell membranes that are both flexible and capable of withstanding extreme environments.

  • No change for astroctyes

    Genetically removing the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 from astrocytes does not convert them into neurons, contrary to previous claims.

  • Tracing cell fates in embryos

    Differences in the activity of an enzyme called CARM1 influence whether blastomeres become part of the embryo or the placenta.

We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.
