Issues

Summary: Detection of physiological and ecological costs of chemical defence in insects under an ecophysiological framework for the better understanding of the ecology and evolution of plant-insect-antagonist interaction.

Summary: This Review explores recent progress in understanding the mechanisms that maintain neuronal cell fate and gene expression, discussing the activating and repressive factors involved, relevance to disease, and outstanding questions.

Summary: flrt2 is necessary for the normal development of the zebrafish eyes since it is strongly expressed in the retina and deletion of flrt2 causes microphthalmia in zebrafish

Summary: Urbanised herring gulls successfully benefit from anthropogenic food sources. We show that human food-centred behaviours directly modulate the attentional states of such gulls.

Summary: Identification of various new gene sets regulated by the transcription factors Dlx3b/4b during early inner development in zebrafish.

Summary: The sinoatrial node transcriptional program is activated by blocking phosphorylation of TAK1 during cardiac differentiation of pluripotent cells, providing a simplified protocol for the in vitro differentiation of cardiac pacemakers.

Summary: This paper demonstrates a conserved role for the insulin receptor in regulating the persistence of injury-induced mechanical nociception in flies and mice.

Summary: The Ac/Ds transposition system, which enables the continuous expression of guide RNAs for CRISPR/Cas perturbation, is adapted to examine the epigenome in zebrafish.

Summary: We report that a broadly used rabbit monoclonal antibody raised against human EZH2 cross-reacts with Scaffold Attachment Factor B in mouse embryonic stem cells under buffer conditions that are commonly used for chromatin immunoprecipitation.
