The paper identifies a novel epithelial population, Zippering Lambda, whose cell cycle arrest is critical for facial prominence fusion and is disrupted in orofacial clefting.

The paper uses CRISPR screens in human forebrain assembloids to identify NDD genes involved in interneuron generation and migration, revealing novel roles for the ER in migration.

The paper shows that switching from npBAF to nBAF chromatin complexes controls cell cycle exit and promotes neural differentiation in developing mouse brains.

The paper identifies a mechanism of retinal sensitization through inhibition adaptation, showing it enhances sensitivity to sensory features by predicting future input.
