Article Abstract
Multiciliated cells (MCCS) form bundles of cilia and their activities are essential for the proper development and physiology of many organ systems. Not surprisingly, defects in MCCs have profound consequences and are associated with numerous disease states. Here, we discuss the current understanding of MCC formation, with a special focus on the genetic and molecular mechanisms of MCC fate choice and differentiation. Furthermore, we cast a spotlight on the use of zebrafish to study MCC ontogeny and several recent advances made in understanding MCCs using this vertebrate model to delineate mechanisms of MCC emergence in the developing kidney.

Diverse epigenetic regulatory mechanisms ensure and regulate cellular diversity. Among others, the histone 3 lysine 9 me3 (H3K9me3) post translational modification participates in silencing lineage-inappropriate genes. H3K9me3 restricts access of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins to cell-fate controlled genes.

However, the transcriptional program controlling the cell fate decisions by neoantigen-specific T cells is incompletely understood. Here, using joint single-cell transcriptome and TCR profiling, we mapped the clonal expansion and differentiation of neoantigen-specific CD8 T cells in the tumor and draining lymph node in mouse prostate cancer.

While aberrant splicing of terminal erythroid regulators has been implicated in MDS pathogenesis, the impact of mutations on early hematopoietic progenitor function remains unclear. Here, we identify CDK8, a key kinase of the mediator complex involved in transcriptional regulation, as a recurrent mis-spliced target in -mutant MDS.

For example, urbanization and the spread of invasive species are aspects of global change that may lead to shifts in the activity of granivorous rodents, potentially leading to changes in the survival and establishment of seeds rodents consume. Importantly, these two aspects of global change could interact to affect rodent activity.

Public Opin Q

This article seeks to understand the public opinion formation among women of color in America. How do identity-based factors, such as linked fate with women of color (WoC), shape political evaluations? Expanding on social identity theory and intersectionality frameworks, we investigate the political influences of WoC identification and WoC intersectional linked fate. We argue that intersectional linked fate represents a deeper sense of shared experiences and interconnected outcomes across race and gender, making this both a conceptually distinct construct and a politically consequential extension of WoC identity.
