The paper identifies gene expression patterns in cnidocytes and spirocytes of Nematostella vectensis, revealing specialized transcriptional programs for cnidogenesis.

The paper identifies pre-hematopoietic stem cells and their niche using spatial transcriptomics in the AGM region, revealing spatial signaling patterns and cellular interactions that support HSC development.

The paper compares aging markers between surface and cavefish populations of Astyanax mexicanus, finding that cavefish show less pronounced aging signatures and suggest metabolic shifts, particularly mitochondrial function, contribute to their extended longevity.

This paper develops a protocol for isolating and culturing primary fibroblasts from frozen bat wing biopsies and establishes stable cell lines for genetic and physiological studies.
