Knockout of CDK8/19, but not its inhibition, impairs spermatogenesis by reducing steroid production in Leydig cells.

Although methods to efficiently generate functional autonomic postganglionic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells largely mirror signaling cues during embryonic development, several in vivo signaling cues remain to be explored in vitro.

A study in mice reveals key interactions between proteins involved in fibroblast growth factor signaling and how they contribute to distinct stages of eye lens development.

A high-resolution, high-speed tissue imaging analysis reveals how neural and muscular tissues coordinate during planarian growth and regeneration.

DNAH12 is essential for sperm flagellar development and male fertility in both humans and mice by interacting with dynein proteins DNAH1 and DNALI1.

In sturgeon, fewer electrosensory organs form after targeting Bmp5 for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis, whereas more form after chemically blocking all Bmp signalling shortly before their primordia emerge, suggesting that Bmp signalling has opposing effects during electrosensory organ development.

The intestinal coelomic epithelium provides dedifferentiated precursor cell populations that drive the adult holothurian intestinal regeneration.

The rete ovarii is a complex secretory structure that may play an important role in ovarian homeostasis.

Long thought to have little relevance to ovarian physiology, the rete ovarii may have a role in follicular dynamics and reproductive health.
