    Obox4 promotes zygotic genome activation upon loss of Dux

    Youjia Guo, Tomohiro Kitano ... Haruhiko Siomi
    Analysis of mouse zygotic genome activation (ZGA) reveals that a mis-annotated multicopy homeobox gene Obox4 functions redundantly with Dux to promote ZGA.

    The Alk receptor tyrosine kinase regulates Sparkly, a novel activity regulating neuropeptide precursor in the Drosophila central nervous system

    Sanjay Kumar Sukumar, Vimala Antonydhason ... Ruth H Palmer
    The newly characterized activity regulating neuropeptide encoding gene Spar is a transcriptional target of the Jeb/Alk receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway in the Drosophila nervous system.

    E3 ubiquitin ligase Deltex facilitates the expansion of Wingless gradient and antagonizes Wingless signaling through a conserved mechanism of transcriptional effector Armadillo/β-catenin degradation

    Vartika Sharma, Nalani Sachan ... Ashim Mukherjee
    Genetic and molecular analysis shows that Deltex modulates the Wingless gradient and counters Wingless signaling by promoting Armadillo/β-catenin degradation through a conserved regulatory mechanism.

    Identification and characterization of intermediate states in mammalian neural crest cell epithelial to mesenchymal transition and delamination

    Ruonan Zhao, Emma L Moore ... Paul A Trainor
    Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a continuous process, in which the transition or intermediate states can be molecularly and spatially defined, shedding new light on development and disease EMT.

    Loss of ninein interferes with osteoclast formation and causes premature ossification

    Thierry Gilbert, Camille Gorlt ... Andreas Merdes
    It is shown that the absence of the centrosome protein ninein provokes premature ossification during mouse development, due to a defect in the fusion of precursor cells into syncytial osteoclasts.

    A microRNA that controls the emergence of embryonic movement

    Jonathan AC Menzies, André Maia Chagas ... Claudio R Alonso
    A novel behavioural pipeline enables the quantitative analysis of the onset of movement in Drosophila embryos revealing that a microRNA modulates this process through regulatory effects in the sensory system.

    Defective mesenchymal Bmpr1a-mediated BMP signaling causes congenital pulmonary cysts

    Yongfeng Luo, Ke Cao ... Wei Shi
    Disrupted mesenchymal Bmpr1a-mediated signaling in fetal mouse lung leads to abnormal airway development and congenital pulmonary cyst formation.

    Scaling between cell cycle duration and wing growth is regulated by Fat-Dachsous signaling in Drosophila

    Andrew Liu, Jessica O’Connell ... Richard W Carthew
    Two atypical cadherins regulate organ growth by tuning the coupling of cell cycle duration to organ size.
