Loss of foxf2 in zebrafish leads to a reduced pericyte progenitor pool in embryos and progresses to severe cerebrovascular defects over the lifespan, suggesting that cerebral small vessel disease in adults has roots in development.

The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom bodies.

Integrated locus-specific and mutational MPRAs reveal regulatory modules and nucleotide determinants governing cell type-specific gene expression, providing a scalable framework for mapping cis-regulatory architecture.

Intrinsic cell cycle progression governs developmental time in neural stem cells by regulating temporal gene transitions that generate neural diversity.

The presence of an organelle called the fusome in species as diverse as Drosophila and mammals indicates an ancient, conserved programme of germ cell development.

The RNA-binding protein BICC1 can act as a genetic disease modifier for kidney cyst formation, potentially explaining the high variability of disease onset and severity in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease patients.
