Horizontal cell undergoes amoeboid-like migration in the developing vertebrate retina, a not previously reported migration mode in the central nervous system, that allows them to move within a densely packed tissue without predetermined paths.

Substrate rigidity modulates genomic stress in the epidermal basal cells of the developing zebrafish embryo and Yap1 and Wwtr1 are required for its survival.

Single-cell transcriptomics of the zebrafish ovary identifies both major and minor cell types and provides a valuable resource for researchers interested in reproductive biology, stem cell biology, and aquatic toxicology.

Live-imaging of Notch-dependent transcription in vivo reveals that cell movements during gastrulation influence transcription levels, and do so downstream of Notch cleavage, illustrating the importance of crosstalk between mechanics and transcription in the context of embryonic development.

Mitochondrial activity and distribution control alveolar formation by conferring distinct cellular properties.

Two cell types in the lung need specific numbers and distributions of mitochondria for alveoli to form correctly.

SoxB genes are sequentially expressed in cnidarian neurogenesis.

Genome editing in a close unicellular relative of animals suggests a premetazoan function of the Hippo pathway effector YAP/TAZ/Yorkie in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and multicellular morphogenesis but not proliferation.

Interaction strength in Notch signaling determines lateral inhibition patterning and drives fate in the unidimensional cell arrangement of the zebrafish notochord.

MorphoGraphX is a user-friendly image processing software primarily aimed at segmenting 3D biological images into cells, quantifying cellular gene expression and growth, and understanding these data in the spatial context of developing organs.
