AAV-mediated overexpression of Prdm12 in knee-innervating afferents reduces inflammatory joint pain and neuronal hyperexcitability in mice

This study shows that overexpressing Prdm12 in knee-innervating neurons reduces inflammatory joint pain and neuronal hyperexcitability in mice.

Novel insights into Emx2 and Dmrta2 cooperation during cortex development and evidence for Dmrta2 function in choroid plexus

This study investigates the cooperative role of Emx2 and Dmrta2 in cortex development and reveals distinct functions of Dmrta2 in choroid plexus formation.

Evidence that Dmrta2 acts as a transcriptional repressor of Pax6 in murine cortical progenitors and identification of a mutation crucial for DNA recognition associated with microcephaly in human

This study shows Dmrta2 represses Pax6 in cortical progenitors and identifies a DNA-binding mutation linked to microcephaly in humans.

The temporal refinement of Dach1 is a key step in the functional maturation of primary somatosensory neurons

The paper shows that Dach1's temporal refinement is essential for the transcriptional maturation of somatosensory neurons.

Loss of G9a does not phenocopy the requirement for Prdm12 in the development of the nociceptive neuron lineage

This study shows that G9a is not essential for Prdm12's role in nociceptive neuron development, despite their interaction.

Systematic mapping of rRNA 2'-O methylation during frog development and involvement of the methyltransferase Fibrillarin in eye and craniofacial development in Xenopus laevis

This study investigates the role of fibrillarin in ribosome biogenesis and its impact on neural crest cell development in Xenopus laevis, revealing developmental defects and hypomethylation patterns in rRNA.
