The paper shows that unequal mitochondrial segregation during neurogenesis leads to asymmetric cell fates, with fewer mitochondria promoting neuronal differentiation.

The paper identifies CDKN1c/p57kip2 as a regulator of the transition from symmetric proliferative to asymmetric neurogenic divisions in spinal progenitors using single-cell RNA-seq data from chick embryos.

The paper introduces nirFAST, a tunable NIR fluorescent reporter for multiplexed imaging, enabling subdiffraction resolution and cell cycle monitoring in live cells.

The paper demonstrates an efficient CRISPR/Cas9 method for somatic knock-in of reporters in avian embryos, enabling dynamic monitoring of protein distribution and labeling of neural sub-populations.

The paper engineers a fluorescent chemogenetic reporter with tunable color for live-cell imaging, enabling advanced spectral control and compatibility with advanced imaging techniques.

This paper introduces frFAST, a far-red fluorescent protein that enables high-contrast imaging in live organisms and facilitates the design of chemogenetic reporters for protein interactions.
