Biological shapes and morphological transitions can emerge from combining directed interactions between cells with apical-basal and planar cell polarity.

Phylogenomics of sea urchins clarifies their origins and diversification history, reveals surprising discrepancies with their rich fossil record, and serves as basis to explore the sensitivity of time calibration analysis.

Ribosomal proteins Rps27 (eS27) and Rps27l (eS27L) are an ancient pair of duplicated genes that encode functionally interchangeable proteins, yet have been evolutionarily retained because both copies are necessary to achieve protein expression across cell types.

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is essential for the specification of dorsal cell fate in amphioxus, suggesting a common evolutionary origin for the formation of the dorsal organizer in chordates.

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals previously undescribed structural features of choanoflagellate flagella and provides new insights into flagellar evolution.

To understand how regeneration works across the different scales of living systems, we first need to identify the essential components underlying this process.

A new agent-based model enables predicting how coral species richness and functional diversity affect the functioning and resilience of coral reef ecosystems.

The gene regulatory network of Nodal signaling, underpinning body axes patterning, was evolved specifically in cephalochordate lineage.

Discovery of a novel neuropeptide signalling system in a deuterostome invertebrate reveals the evolutionary origin of prolactin-releasing peptide and its relationship with neuropeptides in protostome invertebrates.

A SWI/SNF-family chromatin remodeling subcomplex from yeast is identified (RSC1) that is specialized to slide nucleosomes residing on DNA sequences that confer partial nucleosome unwrapping, with assistance from accessory factors.
