Stochastic intrinsic fate decisions by planarian stem cells drive clonal expansion and reveal a straightforward, feedback‐independent mechanism for robust cell identity selection.

A stable microtubule network and kinesin motors facilitate the formation of presynaptic ribbons in sensory hair cells in the zebrafish lateral line.

Pu.1-P53 axis controls the turnover and maintenance of microglia by cell competition.

Sakura is expressed in female germlines, interacts with Otu, and is crucial for germline stem cell renewal and differentiation and oogenesis in Drosophila.

Complementary biochemical and cell-biological approaches reveal that formin FHOD3-mediated actin elongation, rather than nucleation, is critical for maintaining cardiomyocyte sarcomeres.

PRDM16 directs BMP signaling outcomes by guiding SMAD complex genomic binding to repress neural stem cell proliferation and promote choroid plexus epithelial specification.

Bioluminescent imaging is helping researchers better understand the effectiveness of tissue regeneration enhancers delivered to injured heart tissue by different adeno-associated virus vectors.

NR2F2 regulates fetal Leydig cell differentiation and steroidogenesis in mouse testes, providing mechanistic insight into testis development and the etiology of 46,XY differences in sex development.
