Timely macrophage recruitment is essential for neovascularization and neutrophil clearance during cardiac regeneration.

A set of tools to image and track growing plant roots in optimized growing conditions within a vertical stage confocal microscope will open up new possibilities in research of root development.

Establishment of the acinar lineage in the salivary gland requires SOX2 and parasympathetic nerves.

A conditional gene inactivation system that permits the tracking of protein expression, and creates fluorescently-labelled mutant cells in both developing and adult Drosophila tissues.

Meru is a factor that provides tissue-specific information to the core polarity machinery by linking planar to apical-basal polarity in asymmetrically dividing sensory organ precursors.

An RNA-binding protein called PABPC1 has an important role in determining protein synthesis rates and hypertrophy in the heart.

A poly(A) tail-based regulatory mechanism dynamically controls PABPC1 protein synthesis in cardiomyocytes and thereby titrates cellular translation in response to developmental and hypertrophic cues.

Degradation and asymmetric inheritance during cell division of a core pluripotency regulator contributes to lineage commitment in the early Xenopus embryo.

Electrically active axons in white matter stimulate their own myelination by releasing glutamate, which signals through AMPA-type glutamate receptors on nearby oligodendrocyte precursors and newly-differentiating oligodendrocytes, enhancing their survival and hence their ability to myelinate.

A combination of genetic and molecular assays revealed that transcription factor Tfcp2l1 provides the basis for cell patterning and physiologic coordination in kidney collecting ducts.
