While movement of Fgf-signaling to the limb mesenchyme accompanied a shift in function, the ultimate outcome remains a convergent tetrapod limb phenotype.

Senescent cells are recurrently induced during limb regeneration in salamanders and subsequently eliminated by a highly efficient mechanism of macrophage-dependent surveillance.

Peripheral retinal input transiently amplifies information transmission from ganglion cells, dynamically allocating the resources of neural activity to times of expected high information content.

The endosymbiosis between an alga and the spotted salamander shows several parallels to invertebrate-algal symbioses as well as to pathogen associations in vertebrate animals.

eMags is an engineered photodimerizer pair for optogenetic modulation in mammalian cells that is especially suited for the manipulation of intracellular processes occurring in small volumes or subcellular organelles.

Well-preserved fossils reveal an extreme morphological specialization of fly larvae, and broaden our understanding of the diversity of ectoparasitism in Mesozoic insects.

Elucidation of the molecular basis of early wound epidermis dependence during salamander limb regeneration reveals midkine as a key modulator of wound epidermis development and wound-healing resolution.

Whole mount 3D visualization of macromolecule synthesis with light sheet fluorescence microscopy enables quantitative, multiscale analysis at the organ, cellular, and molecular levels of organization.

Transcriptomics is shedding new light on the relationship between photosynthetic algae and salamander eggs.

The activity patterns of populations of neurons in the retina are organized as semantic clusters (analogous to synonyms), in which component patterns bear little physical resemblance to one another but convey the same meaning.
