The paper identifies transposable element insertions that repurpose immune endonucleases to cause hybrid embryo death in mice, contributing to reproductive isolation.

This study maps the molecular changes in murine upper-layer cortical neurons during development and shows how maternal immune activation disrupts this process through post-transcriptional and signaling mechanisms.

The paper identifies TAOK2β as a regulator of translational elongation and shows its disruption leads to increased protein synthesis in an ASD mouse model.
