    TWIST1 and chromatin regulatory proteins interact to guide neural crest cell differentiation

    Xiaochen Fan, V Pragathi Masamsetti ... Patrick PL Tam
    Network propagation connects TWIST1 with epigenetic regulators CHD7, CHD8, and WHSC1, which collectively promote the bias toward neural crest while suppressing neural stem cell programmes, and subsequently enhance ectomesenchyme potential.

    RAB23 coordinates early osteogenesis by repressing FGF10-pERK1/2 and GLI1

    Md Rakibul Hasan, Maarit Takatalo ... David PC Rice
    RAB23 regulates calvarial bone and suture development both independently through, and by cross-talk between, Hedgehog and fibroblast growth factor signaling.

    A common cis-regulatory variant impacts normal-range and disease-associated human facial shape through regulation of PKDCC during chondrogenesis

    Jaaved Mohammed, Neha Arora ... Joanna Wysocka
    SNP-editing of human embryonic stem cells reveals cell type specific function of a genetic variant associated with changes in human jaw shape.

    A Bayesian approach to dynamic homology of morphological characters and the ancestral phenotype of jawed vertebrates

    Benedict King, Martin Rücklin
    The ancestor of all known jawed vertebrates possessed a maxilla and premaxilla and was similar in morphology to the 'maxillate placoderms' from China.

    Association of genetic variation in COL11A1 with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

    Hao Yu, Anas M Khanshour ... Carol A Wise
    Variation in type XI collagen alters estrogen-dependent signaling in the extracellular matrix and is identified as a genetic risk factor for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a common childhood deformity.

    Resolving homology in the face of shifting germ layer origins: Lessons from a major skull vault boundary

    Camilla S Teng, Lionel Cavin ... J Gage Crump
    Homology of vertebrate skull structures should be based on evolutionary continuity and an appreciation of germ layer origins and inductive signaling in the embryonic head.

    Gli3 utilizes Hand2 to synergistically regulate tissue-specific transcriptional networks

    Kelsey H Elliott, Xiaoting Chen ... Samantha A Brugmann
    Context-dependent optimization of Gli-binding site occupancy, in the presence of Hand2, is critical for modulating tissue-specific transcriptional output within tissues that lack an obvious Hedgehog morphogen gradient.

    Genetic requirement of dact1/2 to regulate noncanonical Wnt signaling and calpain 8 during embryonic convergent extension and craniofacial morphogenesis

    Shannon H Carroll, Sogand Schafer ... Eric C Liao
    During zebrafish embryogenesis, dact1 and dact2 are necessary for axis lengthening and craniofacial morphogenesis, and the protease capn8 is misexpressed in dact1/2 mutants.

    The cardiopharyngeal mesoderm contributes to lymphatic vessel development in mouse

    Kazuaki Maruyama, Sachiko Miyagawa-Tomita ... Hiroki Kurihara
    Genetic lineage tracing reveals the cardiopharyngeal mesoderm as a cellular origin of craniofacial and cardiac lymphatic vessels, which most often affected in lymphatic malformation patients.

    A calcineurin-mediated scaling mechanism that controls a K+-leak channel to regulate morphogen and growth factor transcription

    Chao Yi, Tim WGM Spitters ... Christopher L Antos
    Calcineurin regulates an electrophysiological mechanism that activates the transcription of specific developmental genes in a heirarchical manner to scale fish appendages.
