Goofy/123Cre Lineage Tracing Differentiates Olfactory and Vomeronasal Neurons from GnRH-1 and Terminal Nerve Neurons During Neuronal Migration and Reveals Additional Olfactory Placode-Derived Cells in the Brain

The paper uses lineage tracing to differentiate olfactory and vomeronasal neurons from GnRH-1 and terminal nerve neurons, revealing genetic heterogeneity and additional olfactory placode-derived cells in the brain.

Canopy1/Cnpy1 is required for proper V2R processing and transport; its loss impairs the function and circuit organization of basal/V2R vomeronasal sensory neurons

This study shows that Cnpy1 is essential for V2R processing and transport in basal vomeronasal sensory neurons, with its loss causing functional impairment and circuit disruption.

Shared Lineage, Distinct Outcomes: Yap and Taz Loss Differentially Impact Schwann and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Development Without Disrupting GnRH-1 Migration

The paper investigates the role of Yap and Taz in OEC and Schwann cell development using single-cell RNA sequencing and conditional ablation in mice, finding differential impacts without affecting GnRH-1 migration.

Following the p63/Keratin5 Basal Cells in the Sensory and Non-sensory Epithelia of The Vomeronasal Organ

The paper identifies p63/Keratin5-positive basal cells in the vomeronasal organ's sensory and non-sensory epithelia, showing their role in self-renewal and differentiation into apical cells.
