Method-dependent biases in cell type detection between single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing in the photosymbiotic acoel Praesagittifera naikaiensis

The paper compares scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq in Praesagittifera naikaiensis, finding snRNA-seq better recovers neural transcripts and reduces symbiont reads.

Emergent Chemical Reactivity and Complexity of RNA Condensates

This study investigates RNA condensates formed at acidic pH, showing they compartmentalize biomolecules, enhance reaction rates, and act as microreactors with catalytic activity, supporting the RNA world hypothesis.

The gut contractile organoid: a novel model for studying the gut motility regulated by coordinating signals between interstitial cells of Cajal and smooth muscles

This study develops a contractile organoid model from chicken embryonic hindgut to study rhythm coordination between interstitial cells of Cajal and smooth muscle cells.

Distribution map of peristaltic waves in the chicken embryonic gut reveals importance of ENS and inter-region cross talks along the gut axis

The paper maps peristaltic wave origins along the chicken embryonic gut axis, revealing ENS regulation and inter-region cross-talk in gut development.

Comparison of the 3-D patterns of the parasympathetic nervous system in the lung at late developmental stages between mouse and chicken

This study compares the 3-D patterns of parasympathetic nerves in mouse and chicken lungs during late development, revealing three key similarities in nerve distribution and function.
