Auditory representations of natural sounds are similar in primary auditory cortex of ferrets and humans, but diverge sharply in non-primary areas for speech and music sounds.

Developing long bones contain distinct mesenchymal stem-cell populations derived from mesoderm and neural crest, which have specialized functions in skeleton formation and the establishment of the hematopoietic stem-cell niche, respectively.

Influenza transmission among ferrets correlates strongly with transmission among humans, so the ferret model for influenza transmission is a valid tool for pandemic potential in humans.

A systematic optimization of intestinal digestion protocols allows for the isolation and high-dimensional flow cytometric analysis of intestinal immune cells during murine helminth infection.

Expression of human-specific gene ARHGAP11B in the developing ferret neocortex leads to an increase in abundance of neural progenitor cells, which results in neocortex expansion.

In mice, but not in humans, the bone-derived hormone osteocalcin is O-glycosylated, a post-translational modification controlling its half-life in vivo.

Just as the sinoatrial node acts as pacemaker for the heart, the nucleus acts as pacemaker for the Xenopus embryonic cell cycle.

Single-cell transcriptome analyses during cortical brain development in ferrets and its comparison with public human datasets reveal that there are common progenitors and lineages among gyrencephalic mammalian brain development.

A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.

A customizable open-source hardware and software platform for conducting diverse behavioral experiments in head-fixed mice.
