Morphologic, molecular, biomechanical and computational analyses show that the specialized extracellular matrix architecture of the umbilical artery contributes to its rapid closure at birth and regulates smooth muscle cell differentiation.

A functional genetics approach reveals a novel role for odorant binding proteins in post-mating processes, with complex mechanisms of evolutionary change across closely related insect species.

Major differences among the main spinal V1 inhibitory interneuron subgroups were revealed based on neurogenesis, circuit placement, and motoneuron targeting, and Foxp2-V1 interneurons were identified tightly coupled to limb control.

Cylicin 1 and Cylicin 2 are essential components of the sperm perinuclear theca and their loss results in impaired spermiogenesis and thus in infertility in mice and men.

The first born excitatory cerebellar nuclei neurons influence the survival of their Purkinje cell partners which stimulate the expansion of granule cells and interneurons to produce functional local circuits.
The specification of a very small number of progenitor cells with competence to adapt their neurogenic output to different probabilistic rules underlies the generation of distinct cortical cytoarchitectures.
