A novel in vivo strategy for reversible, multiplexed control of circulating hormone expression levels, achieved by combining genome-editing and intramuscular electroporation of fluorescently tagged hormones in the naturally short-lived turquoise killifish.

In vitro and in vivo data show that C-natriuretic peptide is significant for increasing mitochondrial bioenergetics by cAMP-PKA pathway and improving cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation of maternally aged oocyte.

Direct mechanical microcantilever-based measurements establish key material parameters describing mechanical response of the early Drosophila embryonic epithelium.

The absence of DMRT1 induces a male-to-female sex reversal in XY rabbits and complete infertility in both sexes.

Germline extrachromosomal circular DNAs are mainly formed by microhomology-mediated ligation of nucleosome-protected fragments and barely contribute to de novo genomic deletions at meiotic recombination hotspots.

Chromatin changes downstream from Drosophila germline stem cells and fertilized zygotes alter how transposable element activity and gene expression are controlled to facilitate differentiation.

Xenopus laevis arose from hybridization of two different frog species millions of years ago, leading to adaptation of the genetic networks controlling early embryonic development and stem cell induction to balance expression between the genes inherited from each ancestor.

Individual species of bacteria and yeast present in the food of wild fruit flies work together to provide the nutrients needed for larval growth.

During tracheal morphogenesis, the scavenger receptor Emp senses and responds to luminal cargo levels by initiating apical membrane endocytosis along the longitudinal tube axis to restrict airway elongation.

Structured illumination microscopy reveals that the hierarchical development of complex honeycomb-like nanostructures within the lumen of some swallowtail butterfly wing scales proceeds via a novel reorganization of disintegrating F-actin bundles.
