TL;DR: The findings indicate that the sensory patches of the vertebrate inner ear and the sensory bristles of a fly are generated by minor variations of the same basic developmental program, in which cell diversification driven by Delta- notch and/or Serrate-Notch signalling plays a central part.

TL;DR: The arguments for considering the sensory patches of the vertebrate ear and bristles of the insect to be homologous structures, evolved from a common ancestral mechanosensory organ, are reviewed, and the role of Notch signaling in each system is examined.

TL;DR: Results indicate that microtubules mediate mitochondrial distribution in fission yeast and provide the first genetic evidence for the role of microtubule in mitochondrial movement.

TL;DR: The Drosophila BBB transcriptome is defined by isolating the BBB surface glia with fluorescence activated cell sorting and profiling their gene expression with microarrays and is found to show high expression of many ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier (SLC) transporters, cell adhesion molecules, metabolic enzymes, signaling molecules, and components of xenobiotic metabolism pathways.

TL;DR: SNT as discussed by the authors is an end-to-end framework for neuronal morphometry and whole-brain connectomics that supports tracing, proof-editing, visualization, quantification and modeling of neuroanatomy.
