During Kupffer's vesicle morphogenesis, cell volume anisotropy impacts cell shape changes.

Circulation of molecules from the brain can serve as a rapid mode of communication from the brain to the liver.

The scavenger receptor MARCO and liver phagocytes are required for clearance of circulating alphavirus particles and thereby limit viremia and viral dissemination.

Chitinase 3-like-1 promotes Kupffer cells to recruit platelets, thereby contributing to liver injury, and serves as a therapeutic target in acetaminophen-induced liver injury.

Breast cancer resistant to either doxorubicin or epirubicin relies on distinct primary metabolic processes, which can be targeted to reduce cancer progression.

NMR spectroscopy has been used to explain a central unresolved issue of nuclear transport, namely how it can be both fast and specific.

HOIL-1 deficiency in mice results in a severe immunodeficiency that is effectively complemented by chronic infection with a murine gamma-herpesvirus.

Foxj1a makes cilia ultrastructurally motile, while Notch signalling stops cilia movement in Kupffer's vesicle.

DNA fingerprinting by portable nanopore sequencing is a novel re-identification method with applications in (clinical) laboratories and biobanks.

Genetic analyses demonstrate that Gdf3/Vg1 is a maternal effect gene required for robust Nodal signaling during different phases of embryogenesis including germ-layer formation, Kupffer's vesicle morphogenesis, and left-right patterning.
