Disrupted mesenchymal Bmpr1a-mediated signaling in fetal mouse lung leads to abnormal airway development and congenital pulmonary cyst formation.

Two atypical cadherins regulate organ growth by tuning the coupling of cell cycle duration to organ size.

Styxl2, a sarcomeric muscle-specific pseudophosphatase in vertebrates, functions in sarcomere assembly by promoting protein degradation of non-muscle myosin IIs.

Depletion of the TGFβ signal-transducer, SMAD4, in granulosa cells of growing follicles reduces the number of filopodia, termed transzonal projections, that stably attach to and mediate communication with the oocyte.

Growth-delayed offspring generated from eggs that lacked normal epigenetic programming exhibited a remarkable capacity to undergo late gestational fetal growth recovery, despite inefficient placental function.

Pre-hematopoietic stem cells emerge from the aortic floor according to two radically different morphodynamics whose biomechanics rely on controlling apicobasal polarity in hemogenic precursors, which may impact on their fate.

Triglyceride plays an important role in regulating sperm development.

In cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, resident macrophages orchestrate the immune response and positively influence postinfarct remodeling, whereas recruited macrophages determine infarct size.

Single-cell expression profiling and genetic lineage analysis show that aging impairs adipocyte differentiation from precursor cells and blocks the thermogenic activation of adipocytes during cold exposure.
