    Maternally regulated gastrulation as a source of variation contributing to cavefish forebrain evolution

    Jorge Torres-Paz, Julien Leclercq, Sylvie Rétaux
    Phenotypic evolution can originate from variations in very precocious developmental events, starting even before fecundation, during the fabrication of the egg in the mother's gonad.

    EHMT2 epigenetically suppresses Wnt signaling and is a potential target in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma

    Ananya Pal, Jia Yu Leung ... Reshma Taneja
    Inhibition of the lysine methyltransferase G9a blocks oncogenic phenotypes in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

    R-spondin 3 deletion induces Erk phosphorylation to enhance Wnt signaling and promote bone formation in the appendicular skeleton

    Kenichi Nagano, Kei Yamana ... Roland Baron
    R-spondin3 global haplo-insufficiency or its deletion in pre-osteoblasts lead to gain of bone mass in the appendicular skeleton with no or opposite phenotype in the axial skeleton.

    Measuring ligand-cell surface receptor affinities with axial line-scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

    Antonia Franziska Eckert, Peng Gao ... Gerd Ulrich Nienhaus
    A robust fluorescence microscopy-based data acquisition and analysis framework affords the precise measurement of cell surface receptor affinities toward their cognate ligands and their densities in live cells/tissues.

    Loss of the multifunctional RNA-binding protein RBM47 as a source of selectable metastatic traits in breast cancer

    Sakari Vanharanta, Christina B Marney ... Joan Massagué
    Inactivation of a multifunctional RNA-binding protein can lead to the acquisition of pro-metastatic phenotypes, possibly by stabilizing large-scale transcriptomic changes that provide a selective advantage during cancer progression.

    Proliferation-independent regulation of organ size by Fgf/Notch signaling

    Agnė Kozlovskaja-Gumbrienė, Ren Yi ... Tatjana Piotrowski
    Cell adhesion regulates organ size in the zebrafish lateral line system.

    Downregulation of Dickkopf-3, a Wnt antagonist elevated in Alzheimer’s disease, restores synapse integrity and memory in a disease mouse model

    Nuria Martin Flores, Marina Podpolny ... Patricia C Salinas
    The Wnt antagonist DKK3 is a key regulator of excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and its downregulation in the hippocampus restores synaptic connectivity and memory in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model.

    Lef1 expression in fibroblasts maintains developmental potential in adult skin to regenerate wounds

    Quan M Phan, Gracelyn M Fine ... Ryan R Driskell
    Adult wound repair can be rejuvenated to heal like young skin by activating neonatal transcription factors in fibroblasts.

    A multi-scale model for hair follicles reveals heterogeneous domains driving rapid spatiotemporal hair growth patterning

    Qixuan Wang, Ji Won Oh ... Maksim V Plikus
    Regional differences in activator and inhibitor signals alter hair cycle pace across mouse skin and produce unique fur renewal 'landscapes', with fastest renewal on the ventrum and slowest renewal on the ear pinnae.

    Dkk2 promotes neural crest specification by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in a GSK3β independent manner

    Arun Devotta, Chang-Soo Hong, Jean-Pierre Saint-Jeannet
    Dkk2, a member of the Dikkopf family of Wnt antagonists, acts as a positive regulator of Wnt signaling during neural crest formation.
