  Unraveling the transcriptomic landscape of eye migration and visual adaptations during flatfish metamorphosis

  Flatfish eye migration in metamorphosis study shows up-regulated immune genes. The process involves roles of myosin/ependymin, the link of alx3’s to cranial restructuring, changes in opsins adaptation to low light and an asynchronous system activation.

  The steroid-hormone ecdysone coordinates parallel pupariation neuromotor and morphogenetic subprograms via epidermis-to-neuron Dilp8-Lgr3 signal induction

  Pupariation in Drosophila is triggered by the steroid-hormone ecdysone and requires coordination between associated behavioral and body-reshaping motor subprograms. The authors show that coordination requires ecdysone-dependent Dilp8-Lgr3 signaling between the cuticle epidermis and interneurons.
