– Misato combined atomic force microscopy and immunostainning to examine how the embryonic mouse cerebral cortex changes in stiffness during development.

 Shashank achieved tissue-specific mutagenesis in Ciona using CRISPR/Cas system.

– and Paul reposted a comment on his paper on the role of histone H3.3 in regulating chromatin during spermatogenesis.
