Calcineurin fine tunes the balance between proliferation and differentiation of Notch-responsive progenitors in the pancreatic ducts to enable beta cell regeneration in zebrafish.

Aggregation of mutant forms of Huntingtin is the underlying feature of neurodegeneration observed in Huntington's disorder. In addition to neurons, cellular processes in non-neuronal cell types are ...

This study demonstrates that plant and fruit volatiles can be organized according to a low-dimensional hyperbolic map, and that within this map exist trajectories that correspond to important ...

This valuable report describes the changing antiviral activity of IFIT1 across mammals and in response to distinct viruses, likely as a result of past arms races. One of the main strengths of the ...

This valuable study reports on a novel role of PD-1 in early T cell differentiation, showing that PD-1 stimulation impairs Th2 differentiation more effectively than that of Th1, with implications for ...

A bioinformatics pipeline describes 390 putative, novel inhibitory receptors, to facilitate targeted therapeutic strategies for diverse immune cell types in cancer therapy.

Deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of O-glcNac transferase (OGT) enhances tumor immunity in colorectal cancer models.

Researchers have discovered a new plant seed fossil, Alasemenia, one of the earliest known examples of a winged seed.

In this important study, the authors used a zebrafish model and scRNAseq analysis to show that a subset of keratinocytes within melanoma microenvironment highly up-regulate Twist and undergo ...

This useful study reports that the exogenous expression of the microRNA miR-195 can partially compensate in early B cell development for the loss of EBF1, one of the key transcription factors in B ...

The advent of large-scale sequencing in both development and disease has identified large numbers of candidate genes that may be linked to important phenotypes. Validating the function of these ...

This important study shows that sound exposure enhances drug delivery to the cochlea via outer hair cell electromotility acting as a "fluid pump". Although others have proposed that electromotility ...
