Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that paternal obesity influences sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation enrichment and placenta gene expression, which in turn negatively impact its development and function in a manner that may contribute to metabolic disease in offspring.

Gender-affirming hormone therapy in trans women leads to a loss of mature characteristics in the spermatogonial stem cell niche, causes spermatogenic arrest, and triggers fibrotic processes.
A new example of niche formation, revealing the mode of niche cell migration, implicates extrinsic sources of positional information, and uncovers the pathway required for stereotypical positioning of the niche.

The Notch signaling pathway can use its various ligands, receptors, and Fringe proteins to generate diverse intra- and intercellular signaling behaviors.
Biophysical binding and structural prediction studies reveal that Tetraspanin12 directly binds the ligand Norrin, in a manner that is negatively cooperative with Norrin-Fzd4 binding and competitive with Norrin-LRP5/6 binding.

Laminin gamma1-dependent basement membranes are required for multiple aspects of olfactory system development in zebrafish, including the maintenance of placode tissue shape and the growth of the olfactory axons.
