Just as the sinoatrial node acts as pacemaker for the heart, the nucleus acts as pacemaker for the Xenopus embryonic cell cycle.

The transcription factor Nr2f1a represses ventricular and pacemaker cardiomyocyte identities within distinct regions of the zebrafish atrium.

Pacemaker neurons are present in the preBötC circuitry of mouse embryos and their role in driving respiratory network activity changes during the critical period immediately before birth.

When human participants are able to plan responses in a visuo-spatial working memory task, sensory-like representations of remembered spatial position in early visual and parietal cortex adaptively trade off with motor-like representations of upcoming actions in sensorimotor cortex.

Diversification of human pacemaker subpopulations is directed by WNT and TGFβ signaling.

An atypical neuronal pacemaker mechanism triggers feeding motor pattern in Aplysia..

An optogenetic dual-color Ca²⁺-imaging approach shows how submucosal pacemaker-cells, interstitial cells of Cajal, modulate smooth-muscle responses and drive colonic motility via complex Ca²⁺ signaling.

Nuclei and spatial system dimensions control local concentrations of cell cycle regulators, determining the spatial origin of waves that coordinate​ DNA replication and, subsequently, cell division.

A genome wide transcriptome dataset of the embryonic zebrafish heart with high spatial resolution was established and used to identify a novel mechanism regulating pacemaker function.

Dnajb6 is identified as a novel sick sinus syndrome causative gene that exhibits a unique expression pattern within a subpopulation of sinus node pacemaker cells.
