TLR7 Signaling Regulates Embryonic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Development by Sensing microRNA-146a in Vertebrates

This study identifies microRNA-146a as an endogenous activator of TLR7 signaling, which promotes embryonic HSC development through IRF5 and Notch signaling in zebrafish and mouse embryos.

Population density triggers wing dimorphism via NlNompC-mediated insulin signaling in Nilaparvata lugens

Angptl5 restricts primitive hematopoiesis by modulating retinoic acid signaling in zebrafish

This study identifies Angptl5 as a regulator of hematopoietic homeostasis in zebrafish by modulating retinoic acid signaling, leading to myeloid hyperplasia and erythroid expansion in mutants.

Ripply1 and Gsc collectively suppress anterior endoderm differentiation from prechordal plate progenitors

The paper shows that Ripply1 and Gsc suppress anterior endoderm differentiation from prechordal plate progenitors by repressing sox32 through cis-element binding.

Mycn regulates intestinal development through ribosomal biogenesis in a zebrafish model of Feingold syndrome 1

This study uses a zebrafish model of Feingold syndrome 1 to show that Mycn regulates intestinal development through ribosomal biogenesis and that leucine supplementation can rescue the intestinal defect.

Single cell response landscape of graded Nodal signaling in zebrafish explants

The paper constructs a single-cell response landscape to graded Nodal signaling in zebrafish explants, identifies 105 immediate targets, and shows Nodal can induce axial mesoderm and head structure but not internal endoderm.
