The paper shows how epigenetic coalitions in birds couple tissue growth to generate periodic color patterns through ASIP regulation and feedback loops.

This study shows that peristaltic movements drive gut elongation through collective cell rearrangements in chicken embryos.

The paper investigates how peristaltic wave origins in chicken embryos transition from random to organized positions through suppressive actions and lateral inhibition.

This study develops a contractile organoid model from chicken embryonic hindgut to study rhythm coordination between interstitial cells of Cajal and smooth muscle cells.

This paper develops a new anti-c-Kit antibody to identify interstitial cells of Cajal in chicken embryos and demonstrates its utility in visualizing ICCs in different gut layers.

The paper maps peristaltic wave origins along the chicken embryonic gut axis, revealing ENS regulation and inter-region cross-talk in gut development.
