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 study shows that the stiffness of primordial germ cells is required for their arrest and extravasation in avian embryos, with actin polymerization regulating this stiffness.

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

The paper identifies Sox2 gradient-regulated self-renewal and tubulogenesis in secondary neurulation-fated cells in the chicken tail bud.

This study compares the 3-D patterns of parasympathetic nerves in mouse and chicken lungs during late development, revealing three key similarities in nerve distribution and function.
