TL;DR: The genome of Naja naja, the Indian cobra, a highly venomous, medically important snake, is reported, which could serve as a reference for snake genomes, support evolutionary studies and enable venom-driven drug discovery.
Delineating the core regulatory elements crucial for directed cell migration by examining folic-acid-mediated responses

TL;DR: It is observed that inducible deletion of AhR in Lgr5+ stem cells increases the percentage of colonic stem cells and enhances organoid initiating capacity and growth of sorted stem and progenitor cells, while AhR activation has the opposite effect.

Open access microfluidic device for the study of cell migration during chemotaxis
TL;DR: These experiments compared the migration rates and qualitative behavior of Dictyostelium discoideum cells responding to measurable cAMP and folic acid gradients in small and large channels and reported on the influence that polarity has on a cell's ability to migrate when confined in a channel.
