   Transcriptome profiling of tendon fibroblasts at the onset of embryonic muscle contraction reveals novel force-responsive genes

   Pavan K Nayak, Arul Subramanian, Thomas F Schilling

   Muscle contraction forces shape tenocyte gene expression, with sequencing and spatial analyses revealing unique force-dependent gene regulation patterns, suggesting tenocytes fine-tune tendon matrix in response to varied mechanical cues.

   An atypical basement membrane forms a midline barrier during left-right asymmetric gut development in the chicken embryo

   Cora Demler, John C Lawlor ... Natasza A Kurpios

   A novel midline barrier is discovered in the developing gut, highlighting its dynamics and function, with broad implications for patterning mechanisms, extracellular matrix significance, and laterality disorders.
