Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a critical growth factor involved in the maturation
of the CNS, including neuronal morphology and synapse refinement. Herein, we …

Aedes aegypti transmit pathogenic arboviruses while the mosquito itself tolerates the
infection. We examine a piRNA-based immunity that relies on the acquisition of viral derived …

Plastids are supported by a wide range of proteins encoded within the nucleus and imported
from the cytoplasm. These plastid-targeted proteins may originate from the endosymbiont …

The concepts and current developments of a research data infrastructure for materials
science are presented, extending and combining the features of an electronic lab notebook …

Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me), a widely-distributed chromatin mark,
largely results from association of the lysine methyltransferase (KMT) SET-2 with RNA …

Cell lineages provide the framework for understanding how cell fates are decided during
development. Describing cell lineages in most organisms is challenging; even a fruit fly larva …

The intermediate filament protein keratin 14 (K14) provides vital structural support in basal
keratinocytes of epidermis. Recent studies evidenced a role for K14-dependent disulfide …

The mammalian cochlea loses its ability to regenerate new hair cells prior to the onset of
hearing. In contrast, the adult vestibular system can produce new hair cells in response to …

Individual microbial species are known to occupy distinct metabolic niches within multi-
species communities. However, it has remained largely unclear whether metabolic …

In response to physiological demand, the pituitary gland generates new hormone-secreting
cells from committed progenitor cells throughout life. It remains unclear to what extent …
