TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: A role for BI-1 is suggested in early adaptive responses against ER stress that contrasts with its known downstream function in apoptosis, which is known to be regulated by XBP-1.

TL;DR: A unifying model where lateralizing and posteriorizing signals are presented as two stages of the same inductive process required for neural crest induction is proposed.

TL;DR: Two Xenopus homologs of ara and caup are identified, suggesting the conservation of at least part of the genetic cascade that regulates proneural genes, and the existence in vertebrates of a prepattern of factors important to control the differentiation of the neural plate.

TL;DR: The neural crest is a population of cells that originates at the interface between the neural plate and non-neural ectoderm, and it is shown that Xiro1, Notch and the Notch target gene Hairy2A are all expressed in the neural crest territory, whereas the NotCh ligands Delta1 and Serrate are expressed inThe cells that surround the prospective crest cells.
