Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging

Natacha Roux, Clément Philippe Delannoy, Shin‐Yi Yu, Saori Miura, Lilian Carlu, Laurence Besseau, Takahiro Nakagawa, Chihiro Sato, Ken Kitajima, Yann Guérardel, Vincent Laudet

This paper investigates how anemonefish avoid triggering sea anemone nematocysts by reducing sialic acid levels in their mucus, suggesting a Trojan horse mechanism for symbiosis.

Assembly of neuron- and radial glial cell-derived extracellular matrix molecules promotes radial migration of developing cortical neurons

Ayumu Mubuchi, Mina Takechi, Shunsuke Nishio, Tsukasa Matsuda, Yoshifumi Itoh, Chihiro Sato, Ken Kitajima, Hiroshi Kitagawa, Shinji Miyata

The paper identifies a ternary extracellular matrix complex in the subplate/intermediate zone that supports radial migration of cortical neurons by promoting the multipolar-to-bipolar transition.
