The shape of our ancestors: new insights into the architecture and evolution of early animal cells

I. Ferreirós-Vidal, A. Conesa, J. Tegner, M. Merkenschlager, D. Gomez-Cabrero et al. find that B cell progenitor differentiation induced by the Ikaros is coordination by the feedforward interplay of Ikaros and Myc.

Long Wang et al., find that the rates of accumulation of mutations vary between different parts of a plant, with lower rates when mutations have greater potential longevity (such as in leaves) than in short-lived structures (such as petals).

Wilnelly Hernandez-Sanchez, Derek Taylor and co-workers describe the characterization of an artificial nucleoside analogue (5-MeCITP) that potently and selectively inhibits telomerase activity by binding to a unique pocket on the enzyme.

Jorge Gámez, Hugo Merchant and colleagues show that beat-based timing depends on the amplitude of periodic neural population dynamics and on the number of engaged neurons in primate medial premotor areas.
