   Npr3 regulates neural crest and cranial placode progenitors formation through its dual function as clearance and signaling receptor

   Arun Devotta, Hugo Juraver-Geslin ... Jean-Pierre Saint-Jeannet

   A combination of morpholino-based knockdowns, pharmacological inhibitors, and rescue assays reveal a novel role for natriuretic peptide signaling in the regulation of cell fates in the embryonic ectoderm.

   Mutation of vsx genes in zebrafish highlights the robustness of the retinal specification network

   Joaquín Letelier, Lorena Buono ... Juan R Martínez-Morales

   Depletion of vsx genes in zebrafish confirms a conserved role in bipolar cells specification across vertebrates, but do not interfere with the formation of the neural retina domain, which reveal an unexpected robustness of the genetic network sustaining the retina.

   Development: The hidden depths of zebrafish skin

   Yue Rong Tan, Megan Liaw, Chen-Hui Chen

   Single-cell transcriptome analysis of zebrafish cells clarifies the signalling pathways controlling skin formation and reveals that some cells produce proteins required for human teeth to acquire their enamel.

   The fat body cortical actin network regulates Drosophila inter-organ nutrient trafficking, signaling, and adipose cell size

   Rupali Ugrankar-Banerjee, Son Tran ... W Mike Henne

   Fat-body-specific loss of actin isoform Act5C disrupts fat body cell growth and fat storage, lipoprotein secretion, and insulin signaling, revealing a non-canonical role for the cortical actin cytoskeleton in nutrient signaling and inter-organelle trafficking.

   The dark kinase STK32A regulates hair cell planar polarity opposite of EMX2 in the developing mouse inner ear

   Shihai Jia, Evan M Ratzan ... Michael R Deans

   The planar polarized organization of vestibular hair cells in the mouse inner ear is determined by the coordinated activities of the STK32A kinase and the transcription factor EMX2 to regulate the orphan receptor GPR156.
