The paper uses HCR-FISH to study spatiotemporal dynamics of neural crest gene expression in Xenopus embryos and identifies regulatory relationships between key transcription factors.

This study shows that WDR5 and Myc work together to control neural crest stem cell formation through precise stoichiometric and domain-specific mechanisms.

The paper investigates the role of Kruppel-like factors in regulating pluripotency and neural crest stem cell formation in Xenopus and lamprey, finding that klf17, not klf4, is ancestral in these processes.

This paper analyzes the evolutionary dynamics of FoxQ2 transcription factors across metazoans, identifying three ancient paralogs and revealing conserved and novel expression patterns in chordates.

This study compares gene regulatory networks of neural crest and pluripotency stem cells in jawed and jawless vertebrates, revealing shared evolutionary origins and functional roles of pou5 in neural crest development.

This study shows SoxB1 factors are essential for NPB formation and maintenance, and identifies Pou5f3 as a partner in regulating NPB gene expression.

The paper describes the generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Xenopus proteins using refined hybridoma methods, making them available for research.

The paper quantitatively analyzes transcriptome dynamics during Xenopus embryogenesis to understand how pluripotent cells transition to lineage-restricted states.

This study investigates the transition from SoxB1 to SoxE transcription factors in the development of neural crest cells from pluripotent blastula cells, showing overlapping and distinct regulatory roles.
