Neural progenitors in humans and chimpanzee organoids show remarkably similar cellular and molecular parameters, but metaphase is longer during human mitosis.

Regenerating neural progenitors of the Xenopus tropicalis tail prioritize differentiation to motor neuron types earlier than proliferation, a decision partly regulated by the transcription factors Pbx3 and Meis1.

Pluripotent stem cell differentiation provides insight into how neural crest subtypes of distinct axial identity are patterned in human embryos.

The Drosophila equivalent of the human transcription factor Sp8 acts to ensure that neural progenitor cells undergo an appropriate number of cell divisions, thereby helping to regulate brain development and guard against tumor formation.

Neurogenic progenitor cells surrounding the eye placode generate neurons that migrate over long distances to the developing octopus brain.

The retromer complex serves as a bomb squad to retrieve and disarm the potentially harmful pool of Notch receptors in a timely manner and thereby safeguards against brain tumor formation.

Multiphoton live-imaging illuminates the dynamic underpinnings of how different types of progenitor cells migrate and interact to robustly build the mammalian Dentate Gyrus neural circuitry and new outer neurogenic niche.

A low-level pulse of the nuclear Prospero protein is necessary and sufficient to cause neural progenitor cells to enter a quiescent state.

Characterization of a novel population of enteric nervous system glial cells in zebrafish reveals their proliferative and neurogenic properties under homeostatic conditions in adults, properties difficult to model in mammals.

A thorough insight into the previously unrecognised role of a critical developmental regulator known as TBXT in influencing the specification of human trunk neural crest cells, the presumed precursors of the childhood tumour neuroblastoma.
