Human colonic organoid monolayers self organize into regularly spaced stem and differentiated cell compartments, which are maintained by waves of ERK activity originating from extruded/dying cells.
Analysis of zebrafish periderm enhancers illuminates the conserved DNA of epithelial enhancers across species and prioritizes orofacial-cleft-associated regulatory variants near KRT18/KRT8.

In vivo evaluation of mineralized skeleton in the regenerating axolotl limb reveals a significant osteoclast-driven resorption as an early event with long-lasting impact for tissue integration.
Rather than being a protein coding unit, an mRNA molecule can serve a purely regulatory function to inhibit protein synthesis of its corresponding gene.
Gene expression and epigenetic profiling of defined cell types in the central nervous system of mouse, rat, and human reveals inter-species and inter-individual differences.
