Spatial and temporal coordination of signaling pathways in tissue differentiation: developmental atlas of protein expression during zebra finch beak maturation

The paper presents a developmental atlas of protein expression during zebra finch beak maturation, revealing spatiotemporal patterns of signaling pathway coexpression and their role in tissue differentiation.

Ultimate paths of least resistance: Intrinsically disordered links as developmental resets in regulatory protein networks

This study shows intrinsically disordered proteins act as reset mechanisms in regulatory networks, enabling developmental transitions by integrating physical and genetic processes.

Cell jamming transitions shape regulatory protein gradients and prime evolutionary divergence

The paper shows that cell jamming transitions in avian beak primordia modulate regulatory protein gradients and drive evolutionary divergence by altering tissue-level patterns.

FInCH: FIJI plugin for automated and scalable whole-image analysis of protein expression and cell morphology

The paper introduces a Fiji plugin for automated whole-image analysis of protein expression and cell morphology across developmental stages in bird tissues.
