SureQuant IS-PRM Enables Cross-Species Targeted Quantification of Retinoid Metabolism and Signaling Proteins in the Heart

The paper develops a targeted proteomics method to quantify retinoid metabolism and signaling proteins across species and tissues, revealing tissue-specific networks and developmental changes in the heart.

Muscle Loss as a Foundational Step in the Development and Evolution of the Turtle Shell

The paper investigates muscle loss as a key evolutionary step in turtle shell development using multi-modal imaging and histology-based deep learning to analyze turtle embryos.

Mesendodermal cells fail to contribute to heart formation following blastocyst injection

The paper shows that mesendodermal cells induced from mouse embryonic stem cells fail to contribute to heart formation when injected into blastocysts.

Cardiac progenitors auto-regulate second heart field cell fate via Wnt secretion

The paper identifies cardiac progenitors as a source of Wnts that regulate second heart field development through secretion, using genetic manipulation and single-cell RNA sequencing in mice.
