Wolbachia are successful Gram-negative bacterial endosymbionts, globally infecting a large
fraction of arthropod species and filarial nematodes. Efficient vertical transmission, the …

A great many cell types are necessary for the myriad capabilities of complex, multicellular
organisms. One interesting aspect of this diversity of cell type is that many cells in diploid …

Fruit flies of the genus Drosophila have been an attractive and effective genetic model
organism since Thomas Hunt Morgan and colleagues made seminal discoveries with them …

Majorana fermions are particles identical to their own antiparticles. They have been
theoretically predicted to exist in topological superconductors. Here, we report electrical …

Cell polarity, the generation of cellular asymmetries, is necessary for diverse processes in
animal cells, such as cell migration, asymmetric cell division, epithelial barrier function, and …

The WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) controls actin cytoskeletal dynamics throughout the
cell by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex at distinct membrane …

Summary Bazooka (PAR-3), PAR-6, and aPKC form a complex that plays a key role in the
polarization of many cell types. In epithelial cells, however, Bazooka localizes below PAR-6 …

Eukaryotic mRNAs are subject to multiple types of tailing that critically influence mRNA
stability and translatability. To investigate RNA tails at the genomic scale, we previously …

The Drosophila ovary is a widely used model for germ cell and somatic tissue biology. Here
we use single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to build a comprehensive cell atlas of the …

The Hippo signalling pathway restricts cell proliferation in animal tissues by inhibiting Yes-
associated protein (YAP or YAP1) and Transcriptional Activator with a PDZ domain (TAZ or …
