Toxin-antidote systems are selfish genetic elements found in several eukaryotic organisms. This study by Liu and Zheng describes an ancient such system in C. elegans; the maternal toxin induces a rod-like larval arrest phenotype in progeny that do not carry the antidote.

The human G6P transporter (SLC37A4) moves glucose-6-phosphate into the endoplasmic reticulum, supporting blood glucose stability and metabolism. This study solves the #structure of SLC37A4 in 3 conformations, providing insights substrate r…
Structural #bioinformatics aims to answer biological questions by considering biomolecular #structures at scale. This Perspective by @jgreener64 argues that now that we have accurate predictions, we need to ask what we can learn from them…
#Development requires precise temporal coordination of cellular programs. This study by Francisco Javier Romero-Expósito, María Olmedo & co reveals how reduced insulin signaling in C. elegans slows down cell division to realign development…
Reproductive organs are under strong selective pressure during #evolution. In this Primer, Mugal and Sémon explore a new @PLOSBiology study showing that Drosophila testis cells exhibit rapid change, while ovarian cells are more conserved.…
Seminiferous tubules of the testes play an important role in #sperm production. This study shows that all cell types in the mouse seminiferous epithelium display unique calcium signaling patterns that are under endocrine control.
