A high-resolution picture of genetic complexity and network perturbations underlying cardiac inter-atrial septal dysmorphology associated with patent foramen ovale, a common human congenital anomaly, using quantitative trait locus mapping, genome sequencing, and transcriptomics in a mouse model.

The lymphatic and blood network of the mouse epididymis in adulthood and during postnatal ontogeny has been analyzed in detail.

Robust temporal regulation of a developmental decision in migrating Caenorhabditis elegans neuroblasts is mediated through a strategy that combines transcriptional activation and feedback of a timekeeper gene.

Stage identity and developmental progression in insects is controlled by sequential expression of temporal-specific transcription factors.

Novel and common angiogenic mechanisms crucial for fenestrated brain capillary formation have been identified.

A combination of morpholino-based knockdowns, pharmacological inhibitors, and rescue assays reveal a novel role for natriuretic peptide signaling in the regulation of cell fates in the embryonic ectoderm.

Depletion of vsx genes in zebrafish confirms a conserved role in bipolar cells specification across vertebrates, but do not interfere with the formation of the neural retina domain, which reveal an unexpected robustness of the genetic network sustaining the retina.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis of zebrafish cells clarifies the signalling pathways controlling skin formation and reveals that some cells produce proteins required for human teeth to acquire their enamel.
