Foxc1 proteins prepare the genomes of neural crest-derived cells to facilitate their later development into the cartilages that support the embryonic face.

The evolutionarily conserved polarity protein Crumbs links the regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-cell adhesion with epithelial morphogenesis.

Lineage tracing and genetic analysis in zebrafish show that the pseudobranch is a serial homolog of the gills arising from the jaw-forming mandibular arch, thus supporting the model that vertebrate jaws derived from an ancestral mandibular gill.

Zebrafish have lubricated joints similar to ours and are a tractable model for arthritis research.

High-resolution live and fixed tissue imaging combined with cell and tissue scale data analyses revealed that a ratchet-like constriction of the apical surfaces of cells drives the first step of an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition taking place during mouse gastrulation.

Sequential live imaging of abnormal skull bone fusion in zebrafish reveals a deeply conserved role of two transcription factors, Twist1 and Tcf12, in regulating stem cell activity during growth of the skull.

The polarity protein crumbs controls apical secretion and the architecture of the apical domain by modulating PI(4,5)P₂ levels and the organization of apical Rab6-, Rab11-, and Rab30-dependent trafficking.

Cartilage cells transition through a proliferative intermediate to give rise to bone and marrow fat cells in long bones.

Cell biology analyses in Drosophila epithelial tissues reveal novel mechanisms connecting epithelial polarity proteins with Myosin-dependent cell contractility.

A survey of health and medical researchers revealed important diffrences in how career disruption is treated in funding decisions, with differences in what applicants with disruption are willing to divulge and the adjustments made by reviewers.
