Developmental Cell Burkel/Bement video abstract

The non-imaging-forming visual system has important physiological roles, including entrainment of the circadian rhythm, but its development is not well understood. Here, Andrew Lumsden and colleagues ...

Phosphorylation-Regulated Binding of RNA Polymerase II to Fibrous Polymers of Low-Complexity Domains

Steven McKnight and colleagues talk about their latest findings showing that polymeric fibers formed by low-complexity polypeptide domains can fuse to DNA-binding domains and potentiate transcription....

How Does the Octopus Prevent Arm-to-Arm Interference?

Each of the eight long and flexible arms of the octopus is equipped with two rows of hundreds of suckers. This video from Nesher et al. shows that these suckers have a reflexive tendency to stick them...

Spatially Addressable In Vivo Optogenetics with Multipoint-Emitting Optical Fibers

This video describes the implementation of a new optogenetic tool based on a single waveguide that, by a simple optical strategy, can selectively and dynamically illuminate multiple brain regions. F. ...

When Genetic Instability Is a Good Thing

When Genetic Instability Is a Good Thing - Dr. Orr-Weaver discusses her group's work on regulatory programs that amplify (or suppress) overreplication of cell-type-appropriate genes in the Drosophila ...

Fruit chemistry alters animal behavior

Fruit chemistry alters animal behavior. This study shows the role of secondary metabolites in ripe fruits in shaping plant-animal interactions, not only by directly deterring seed predators but also b...

A Journey Into Entorhinal Cortex | Edvard and May-Britt Moser | NTNU

Kimberly Stroka and colleagues describe a propulsion mechanism for cancer cells that relies on a spatial gradient of channels and pumps in the plasma membrane, rather than acto-mysosin contractility....

Nucleosomal Elements that Control the Topography of the Barrier to Transcription

Carlos Bustamante and colleagues explain how different nucleosomal components combine together to create physical impediments to transcription that RNA Pol II must overcome in order to successfully tr...

Control of Glutamate Receptor Function in the Hippocampus

The hippocampus plays a pivotal role for learning and memory. In this video we show how two proteins—CKAMP44 and TARP gamma-8—that bind to AMPA receptors control information flow into the hippocampus....

Rats Use Their Hippocampi to Organize Related Memories

Rats Use Their Hippocampi to Organize Related Memories. Neural recordings were conducted to understand which situations generate similar neural codes. By analyzing these similarities, McKenzie et al....

Evaluating the Utility of PDE10 Inhibition in Huntington’s Disease

Beaumont et al. demonstrate that acute PDE10 inhibition boosts diminished corticostriatal input and indirect pathway output in symptomatic HD models, despite loss of PDE10. Their data provide rational...
