The brain and olfactory epithelium play a key role in pattering chondrogenic areas in the developing face, which is partly based on the release of SHH from neurosensory structures into the facial mesenchyme.

Mesoderm-derived enteric neurons born in the post-natal vertebrates drive maturation and aging of the enteric nervous system.

A single-cell RNA-seq study examining gene expression profiles in neurons that underlie Drosophila reproductive behaviors shows males and females build sex-specific behaviors at the molecular-genetic level by overlaying sex-specific information on core gene expression networks.

Mammalian germ layer differentiation is characterized by transitions through discrete cell states, which are transcriptionally as well as functionally distinct.

Single-cell transcriptomics of the zebrafish ovary identifies both major and minor cell types and provides a valuable resource for researchers interested in reproductive biology, stem cell biology, and aquatic toxicology.
