The paper shows that Robo3 expression in spinal commissural neurons is controlled by gene regulatory networks involving incoherent feedforward and feedback loops, which determine midline crossing.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to map the developmental trajectory of dI1 spinal interneurons in quail, revealing stage-specific roles of retinoic acid and BMP signaling.

The paper investigates how retinoic acid influences the segregation of dorsal neural fates by analyzing gene expression and lineage markers in developing neural tubes.

The paper identifies Nup107 as a mediator of female sexual differentiation through its regulation of Dsx and BMP signaling in Drosophila.

This study shows that retinoic acid from the neural tube inhibits BMP signaling to end neural crest cell production and ensure proper roof plate formation.
