Regrowing new body parts requires neural input to restore appropriately sized limbs in salamanders.

Novel human iPS cell derived and primary skeletal muscle stem cells show that abnormal ACVR1 activation increases osteogenic/ECM gene expression and impairs myofiber repair, while revealing muscle-specific regenerative properties.

Human pluripotent stem cell modeling of the ATOH1 lineage identifies a temporal shift in the expression of key transcriptional regulators in the developing human cerebellum, this molecular divergence may drive the protracted development of the human cerebellum compared to rodents.

Oon and Prehoda discover cortical actomyosin dynamics that polarize asymmetrically dividing neural stem cells.

The IRE1/XBP1 signaling in myofibers is essential for robust skeletal muscle regeneration in response to injury.

Comparative analysis of cardiac mitogenic pathways identified a potent human gene that is effective at driving in vitro cell cycle activation across species and cell culture systems.

Somatic stem and niche cells in the Drosophila ovary develop from common precursors through regulated proliferative expansion, followed by acquisition of position-specific behaviors, rather than through rigid early specification events.

Lineage tracing and genetic experiments resolve a long-standing controversy by showing that retinoic acid signaling is active in cardiomyocytes, both during development and after myocardial infarction, and protects damaged hearts from apoptosis.

The nutrient composition of food alters both the size of gut epithelial cells and the ability of the stem cell niche to control tissue turnover, resulting in changes in size at the organ level.

Filopodia driven by class X myosin promote the fusion of mammalian myoblasts in the development of skeletal muscle and are important for the regeneration of skeletal muscle following muscle injury.
