Stochastic cell migration modulates exposure to signals that regulate commitment in the nephron progenitor niche.

Several support cell populations balance progenitor maintenance with differentiation in zebrafish lateral line sensory organs.

Genetic, developmental and pharmacological analysis in Caenorhabditis elegans demonstrate that ATAT-2 tubulin acetyltransferase activity regulates synapse maintenance by acting within the RPM-1 signaling network, but independent of the DLK-1 MAP3K.

Motif length plays a critical role in the specification of biological function within a conserved family of RNA-binding proteins.

The first comprehensive insight into speed, trajectory and morphology profiles of tangentially migrating dopaminergic neurons and the alterations in their migratory behavior in absence of Reelin signaling.

Computer simulations reveal the potential and limitations of recently proposed CRISPR-based cell lineage recorders, and suggest how the recorders' design can be optimised to yield more accurate cell lineage trees.

SHH signaling acts through FOXF1/2 transcription factors and antagonizes BMP signaling to specify oral fate and pattern the oral-aboral axis of the mandibular arch to ensure proper formation of jaws.

Defining the biological functions of long non-coding RNAs, individually or as a class, and teasing apart the role of underlying genomic sequences remains the biggest challenge for this field.

Perturbation of mechanical force at muscle attachments and its effects on tendon morphogenesis provides insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular responses to tensional force and resulting extracellular matrix production.

Activation of Notch receptors by ligands in the same cell (cis-activation) is a prevalent and functional mode of signaling in the Notch pathway, and co-exists with trans-activation and cis-inhibition.
