The paper shows that cell confinement causes delayed, heritable chromosome loss, which is linked to mitotic memory and has implications for cancer evolution.

The paper identifies Sox9 as a marker for limbal stem cells and shows its requirement for asymmetric cell fate switch in the corneal epithelium.

This study uses intravital imaging to show corneal endothelial cells can regenerate in mice, and develops a therapeutic approach using modified mRNA to stimulate regeneration in aged mice.

This study identifies the Piezo-Atr-Chek1-Cdc25 pathway as an inhibitory mechanism for axon regeneration, showing that disrupting it enhances regeneration in Drosophila and mammals.

The paper uses live imaging to reveal distinct stem cell activities in the limbal niche during corneal regeneration.

This study shows that primary cilia deficiency in neural crest cells causes anterior segment dysgenesis by disrupting hedgehog signaling and key transcription factors.
