Summary review of microRNA roles during motor neuron generation and degeneration.

Evolutionary loss of foot muscle in a bipedal rodent shares similarities with skeletal muscle atrophy, which is typically considered a pathological response to injury or disease.

Protein mass spectrometry can be used to uncover developmental trajectories in small single cells of differentiating tissues.

Layer-specific microstructural changes contribute to the maturation of cortical organisation during adolescence.

The patched hedgehog receptor inhibits the transmembrane transducer smoothened by reducing the accessibility of cholesterol locally at the membrane of the primary cilium.

Treatment of human pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes with a cocktail of small molecules induces their maturation, as shown by gene expression, biochemical and functional assays.

Experiments on zebrafish show that the regeneration of the heart after an injury depends on lymphatic vessels.

An ancestral apical brain center contributed to the evolution of the insect central complex requiring foxQ2, which is essential for the development of midline structures of the insect brain.

The GATOR complex regulates TORC1 activity during meiosis.

Tapeworms grow and regenerate using stem cells distributed throughout their bodies, but their regeneration competence relies upon the unique micro-environment created by the head and neck.
