This study shows that different maternal exercise modes alter the placental proteome uniquely, with ~20% of placental proteins linked to exercise volume during pregnancy.

This study shows that Sox9 is essential for maintaining retinal integrity and limbal stem cell differentiation in adult mice through genetic ablation and single-cell RNA sequencing.

This study shows the external microbiome influences zebrafish embryonic development through the chorion, affecting transcriptomics, proteomics, and physiological processes.

The paper shows that LACTB2 in the liver regulates mitochondrial maturation to coordinate carbohydrate metabolism with brain development in mice.

The paper identifies pachytene piRNAs as precise gene regulators during meiosis, showing they target specific mRNAs through near-perfect complementarity.

This study generates human ventral skin and amnion-like organoids by adjusting signaling and cellular composition, revealing key developmental pathways and interactions.

This study benchmarks porcine pancreatic ductal organoids (PPDO) against human pancreatic ductal organoids (HPDO) and primary porcine pancreas using scRNA-Seq, showing PPDO's potential for drug screening with conserved toxicity profiles.

This study shows that Dnmt1 regulates bone length by controlling energy metabolism in chondrocytes through DNA methylation and gene expression changes.

The paper identifies TGF-beta-regulated Keratin gene expression patterns during zebrafish tail regeneration and links them to epithelial cell migration and inhibition.

The paper shows that high sugar diets cause follicle death in Drosophila, linked to dopamine imbalance and genetic background, with implications for understanding diet-related fertility issues.

The paper investigates the role of multimerin-1 in gastric chief cell differentiation by tempering WNT signaling, revealing its importance in epithelial maturation through interactions with mesodermal cells.

This study shows WntA expression and gene expression patterns in skipper butterflies are homologous to the Central Symmetry System in nymphalid butterflies, revealing shared developmental mechanisms for wing stripe patterns.

This study shows BMP-Smad1/9 signaling is essential for zebrafish PGC proliferation and survival but not for their fate or migration.

The paper shows that transcriptome maturation during the cell cycle enables multilineage competence in cardiopharyngeal progenitors by coupling fate decisions with cell cycle phases.

The paper investigates how mechanical forces and molecular interactions drive roof plate invagination in chick embryos, identifying Cdh2 and F-actin as key regulators of tissue stiffness gradients.

This study identifies patterns of fraud and error in supercentenarian records, showing that birth certificates and specific date distributions indicate unreliable age claims.

The paper identifies cell-shape dynamics as a mechanism for generating organisational diversity in sensory epithelia across species.

This study investigates R-loop dynamics during mouse early embryonic development and shows their role in regulating transcription during the maternal-to-zygotic transition.

The paper develops a method to visualize ECM dynamics in zebrafish during development and regeneration, revealing distinct expression patterns and dynamic behaviors of specific ECM proteins.

The paper introduces BehaveSeq, a method that reconstructs minute-scale developmental transcriptomics by integrating behavioral monitoring with single-cell transcriptomic profiling in C. elegans.
