    Correct setup of the substantia nigra requires Reelin-mediated fast, laterally-directed migration of dopaminergic neurons

    Ankita Ravi Vaswani, Beatrice Weykopf ... Sandra Blaess
    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.

    Is it possible to reconstruct an accurate cell lineage using CRISPR recorders?

    Irepan Salvador-Martínez, Marco Grillo ... Maximilian J Telford
    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.

    Hedgehog signaling patterns the oral-aboral axis of the mandibular arch

    Jingyue Xu, Han Liu ... Rulang Jiang
    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.

    Individual long non-coding RNAs have no overt functions in zebrafish embryogenesis, viability and fertility

    Mehdi Goudarzi, Kathryn Berg ... Alexander F Schier
    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.

    Mechanical force regulates tendon extracellular matrix organization and tenocyte morphogenesis through TGFbeta signaling

    Arul Subramanian, Lauren Fallon Kanzaki ... Thomas Friedrich Schilling
    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.

    Cis-activation in the Notch signaling pathway

    Nagarajan Nandagopal, Leah A Santat, Michael B Elowitz
    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.

    Mechanotransduction: How muscle contraction strengthens tendons

    Nicole O Glenn, Clarissa A Henry
    The force generated by muscles leads to signaling that helps to shape nearby tendon precursor cells.

    Spatial patterning of liver progenitor cell differentiation mediated by cellular contractility and Notch signaling

    Kerim B Kaylan, Ian C Berg ... Gregory H Underhill
    Mechanical stress plays a cooperative role with Notch in biliary differentiation of liver progenitors, supporting a model of liver development in which biomechanical cues are key inducers of cell fate.

    Quantitative analysis of auxin sensing in leaf primordia argues against proposed role in regulating leaf dorsoventrality

    Neha Bhatia, Henrik Åhl ... Marcus G Heisler
    Top-bottom patterning of leaves is not specified by an asymmetry in the distribution of the plant hormone auxin, in contrast to a previous proposal.
