Host insect microRNAs are translocated to an obligate endosymbiont

Y M Ding, Hongyan Sun, Georg Jander…·Honglin Feng

The paper shows that aphid microRNAs and argonaute protein are translocated into their obligate endosymbiont Buchnera, suggesting a new regulatory mechanism between host and symbiont.

A dual role for Axin in establishing the anterior-posterior axis in the early sea urchin embryo

Hongyan Sun, Chieh-fu Jeff Peng, Lingyu Wang…·Athula H. Wikramanayake

This study investigates Axin's role in inhibiting Wnt signaling in sea urchin embryos to regulate anterior-posterior axis patterning, showing that Axin's interaction with GSK-3β is critical for this function.
