Astrocytic connexin43 phosphorylation contributes to seizure susceptibility after mild traumatic brain injury

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Astrocytic gap junctions formed by connexin43 (Cx43) help maintain brain homeostasis. After mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), total cortical Cx43 increases and redistributes toward a soluble, non‐junctional pool with elevated hemichannel activity and increased phosphorylation at serine 368 (pCx43S368).

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...

A novel, PCP‐dependent tissue organising principle coordinating morphogenesis between embryonic skin epidermal layers

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
‘Outside‐in’ expression of Fz6 across multiple layers of mouse embryo epidermis is connected to Fz6 asymmetry in the basal layer plane. Fz6 loss‐of‐function correlated with failure to: coordinate axial bias of cell long axis orientation across epidermal layers, switch axial cell long axis orientation during suprabasal layer development and establish ...
