Ligand capture by cell surface receptor complexes sets the shape of the Nodal signaling pattern in zebrafish.

Epigenetic clocks are an accurate measure of biological aging and 'tick' slower in male sheep that are castrated.

Inverse gradients of cell ingression and division in the epiblast allow the bipotent progenitors in the anterior streak to become the main progenitors for posterior axis formation from the tail bud.

A novel mathematical strategy for the integrated analysis of adult body structures quantifies the degree and nature of developmental robustness and its evolutionary implications.

During intestinal development, apical PAR complex proteins keep apical domains and junctions continuous between cells as they divide and elongate, and ultimately build a continuous functional tube.

P granule assembly depends in part on protein-protein interactions that drive condensation independent of RNA.

BAP1/ASXL is a key regulator of trophoblast invasion during early mouse and human placentation.

In the Arabidopsis ovule primordium, germinal fate plasticity is coupled to the morphogenetic processes shaping the organ.

Loss of a single organ, the planarian pharynx, triggers immediate proliferation and expansion of stem cells required to replace it.

The transcription factor Snai1b maintains the myocardial wall integrity by limiting cell extrusions and regulating the intermediate filament gene desmin b.
