Nuclear proteome reveals microtubule-associated protein regulating fate and disease

Nuclear and cytoplasmic proteomics uncover a nuclear pool of cytoskeletal proteins, including MAP1B, whose shuttling to the nucleus increases BRG1/BAF chromatin association and regulates brain develop...

What sets the mutation rate of a cell type in an animal species?

Mutation rates per generation are strikingly similar across germlines of animals and across at least one somatic cell type, suggesting a key role for natural selection in shaping mutation rates. This ...

Evolutionary origins and transcriptomic innovations of vertebrate Cajal-Retzius cells

Gumnit et al. reveal that Cajal-Retzius cells are ancestral to jawed vertebrates. Cajal-Retzius cells share a core transcription factor identity and are evolutionarily related to a population of olfac...

New approach methodologies: Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater

The NIH has recently called for expanding use of new approach methodologies (NAMs) to reduce use of animals in research. Arany discusses the need not to forget the irreplaceable aspects of animal rese...
