In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

Distinct metabolic states coupled with differing morphogen levels regulate HC morphology along the tonotopic axis of the developing chick auditory organ.

Making human stem cells express certain transcription factors can convert them into cells that are similar to ovarian granulosa cells, and perform several important functions of the ovary.

Single-cell screens during human cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation reveal that perturbation of congenital heart defect-linked enhancers/genes causes deficient CM differentiation.

Human chemically induced liver progenitors (hCLiPs), which are generated from primary human hepatocytes, exhibit the potential to repopulate injured livers of host mice with efficiency > 90%.

The transcription factor HAND2 evolved uterine expression during the origins of pregnancy and may be important for maternal-fetal immune signaling and parturition.

Mitosis is found to act as a novel trigger for epithelial cell cannibalism, revealing an important link between cell division and death, of relevance to cancer and chemotherapy.

Single cell RNA-sequencing of distinct regions of the human placenta identifies a smooth chorion-specific cytotrophoblast population responsible for unique functions of the smooth chorion, including acting as a barrier and restricting invasion.
