HGF derived from fibroblasts is critical for complete muscularization of the mammalian diaphragm, and loss-of-function experiments reveal that partial muscularization of the diaphragm is not sufficient to cause congenital diaphragmatic hernias.

Photoreceptors diversify their target field at long range through a graded signal.

Extrinsic signals establish an invariant and stereotyped pattern of neuronal differentiation and programmed cell death in the Drosophila visual system.

Human colonic organoid monolayers self organize into regularly spaced stem and differentiated cell compartments, which are maintained by waves of ERK activity originating from extruded/dying cells.

Somatic gonad architecture is regulated by innexin function, but sheath cell position does not determine germ cell exit from the stem cell pool.

As Caenorhabditis elegans adult hermaphrodite germ cells leave the stem cell niche, they associate with a pair of somatic gonad cells that were thought to be symmetrical, but that actually take on dramatically different positions in the organ.
