Formation of a triangular lattice of photoreceptor clusters in the compound eye is driven by highly regulated cell flows in the eye epithelium, through a mechanochemical mechanism.

Retinoic acid-dependent somite morphogenesis induces notochord-endoderm separation required for midline angioblast migration and axial blood vessel development.

Individualized cross-frequency analyses reveal regionally specific slow oscillation–sleep spindle coupling precision as predictor for gross-motor learning dynamics.

The NDNF-like factor Nord is a Hedgehog-induced and extracellular-localized dosage-dependent BMP modulator that regulates Drosophila wing patterning and growth.

Developmental genetics of sea anemone mechanosensory neurons provides insights into the deep evolutionary history of mechanoreceptor development in animals.

An induced pluripotent stem-cell-based, human heart and lung co-differentiation model reveals their shared signaling requirement and enables investigation of their developmental mutual interaction and tissue boundary formation.

Biophysical differential adhesion principles drive non-canonical, zippering mechanisms in vivo, regulating precise neurite placement, and synaptic specificity within Caenorhabditis elegans brain bundles.

Zebrafish embryo screen utilizing conserved mechanisms between cancer metastasis and zebrafish gastrulation identifies the HTR2C inhibitor pizotifen as anti-metastasis drugs.

The coquí frog is of interest to researchers in fields as diverse as development biology, social behavior and the biology of invasive species.

Screening for drugs that disrupt embryonic development in zebrafish can help identify treatments that suppress metastasis.
