Mammals evolved an invasive placenta early in the origins of pregnancy.

Whole-organ live imaging and computational analysis reveal a calcium-mediated mechanical program linking gene expression to organ shape.

Auxin-inducible degradation of CRISPR-tagged endogenous proteins in mice reveals cell-type-specific dependence on the mitotic chromosome condensation proteins.

Trigeminal nerve deficits observed in familial dysautonomia, which arises from mutations in ELP1, are due to loss of neural crest-derived TrkA nociceptors, while placode-derived TrkB and TrkC neurons are spared.

A novel strategy to create genetic mosaics in zebrafish for cell type-specific analysis of gene function that can be applied to any gene of interest.

A powerful sequencing approach is used to elucidate the genetic basis of a complex organismal trait, and members of the irld gene family that affect starvation resistance are identified.

Morphogenetic forces from tissue invagination orient cell division through a previously undescribed mechanism of force-dependent LGN/Pins polarization.

Osteoblast dedifferentiation and migration are injury responses that are differentially regulated and independent of regenerative bone formation.

Analysis of 3D reconstructions of chondrocrania of the Fgfrc^C342Y/+ Crouzon syndrome mouse show the direct effects of this Fgfr2 mutation on embryonic cranial cartilage formation and the indirect effects of chondrocranial morphology on cranial dermal bone development.

Androglobin, a newly identified mammalian globin with a unique modular structure including a protease and calmodulin binding IQ domain within a circularly permuted globin domain, is implicated in murine spermatogenesis.
