Neural plate border cells co-express neural, neural crest, and placodal transcriptional programs before cell fate decisions occur and are transcriptionally heterogeneous along the antero-posterior and medial-lateral axis.

Accumulation of succinate during the in vitro modeling of embryonic stem cell state transition critically regulate cell fate.

Distinct metabolic states coupled with differing morphogen levels regulate HC morphology along the tonotopic axis of the developing chick auditory organ.

The expansion of our understanding about the regulation of iron metabolism, erythropoiesis, and the crosstalk between them has enabled delineating the pathophysiology of multiple diseases and provided rationale for novel therapeutic interventions.

The endopeptidases ECS1 and ECS2 regulate double fertilization and their modulation is a powerful tool for the induction of haploids and the formation of triparental plants, which are two agronomically relevant breeding targets.

New evidence in mice suggests that cells expressing the transcription factor FOXC2 may form a reservoir of quiescent stem cells that contributes to sperm formation.

An extensive characterization of inflammatory cell dynamics, function, and potential interaction during zebrafish cardiac repair identified specific resident macrophage subsets function in debris clearance, inflammatory resolution, and extracellular matrix remodeling, indispensable for successful heart regeneration.

Understanding novel cell types and their evolutionary history is re-evaluated using single nuclei transcriptomic approaches and their inferred underlying gene regulatory networks.

A study of sea urchin and sea star larvae paves the way for understanding how cell types evolve and give rise to novel morphologies.

Lineage-specific Drosophila cell lines provide in vitro models for cell, biochemical, and high-throughput analyses in defined cell types.
