Sensitive brain activity mapping and behavioral profiling reveal most microexons are dispensable for early brain development but highlight a small subset with intriguing neural phenotypes for future study.

A conserved POU4-dependent developmental program underlies mechanosensory neuron regeneration in adult planarians.

SLC35G3-mediated UDP-GlcNAc transport is essential for proper sperm glycoprotein formation and male fertility.

A boundary between the sensory and nonsensory domains contains cells that undergo a series of morphological changes and form basal constriction to separate the segregating inner ear sensory organs.

The Sox9 gene is necessary for maintaining vision in the mouse adult eye, acting as an essential factor for retinal and corneal function.

Sub-membrane microtubule array, known to prevent excessive glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, depends on kinesin-1 KIF5B, which moves microtubules to both generate and remodel this array, potentially regulating the dosage of secretion.

A novel form of collective mesenchymal cell migration is identified during chick gastrulation, where a dynamic 3D meshwork supported by N-cadherin-mediated adhesion coordinates movement and enhances directional migration in the unconfined space between ectoderm and endoderm.

While the genes involved in craniofacial development are highly conserved between the fat-tailed dunnart and mouse, their cis-regulatory elements show significant divergence and appear to reflect species-specific developmental processes.
