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.

An in-depth map of ATR signaling during mouse meiosis is revealed using a combination of genetic and pharmacological approaches coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry.

The maintenance of diverse cell identities might be coordinated through the interaction between widely acting transcriptional corepressors and cell-specific transcription factors to repress undesired gene expression in a cell-type-specific manner.

Seastar larvae can regenerate their nervous system by specifying cells to express the gene sox2 to enter neural progenitor states that then follow embryonic gene regulatory modes to form new neurons.

Zdbf2 is a paternally expressed gene that is mainly expressed in the hypothalamus and promotes appetite and body weight gain in neonates.
