Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the murine intact muscle spindle provide comprehensive datasets of its different tissues and identify new tools to study its development and function.

Fate-mapping, combined with gain- and loss-of-function approaches, reveal the role of BMP signalling in the spatio-temporal development of the tuberal hypothalamus, a critically important brain region.

Deregulated cell fate specification pathways, including oncogenic Ras, cause activation of JNK-signaling at contact sites with wild type cells, which drives apoptosis and aberrant cell elimination in a contact-dependent manner.

A complementary cadherin code is required in phrenic motor neurons and respiratory interneurons to generate robust breathing motor output.

Molecular, cellular, and developmental characterization of zebrafish Merkel cells establishes a new model for the study of mechanosensory epidermal cells.

Tools and resources to identify transcriptional regulators that create and maintain differences between photoreceptor subtypes.

Peroxiredoxin 5 contributes to the maintenance of bone homeostasis by regulating osteoblast differentiation.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein wolframin regulates MCT1 protein levels in retinal glial cells controlling the shuttling of energy metabolites to both somata and axons of retinal ganglion cells and, thus, supporting their fitness and survival.

The two Drosophila titin homologs Sallimus and Projectin display a precise tandem arrangement in the sarcomere that may explain how sarcomere length is regulated outside of vertebrates.

A collection of 22 nanobodies against 11 different Drosophila sarcomeric protein epitopes was generated, validated in stainings and for some transgenic fly lines were generated to monitor the dynamics of the sarcomeric proteins in muscles in vivo.
