This study identifies Notch3 as a non-canonical organizer of intestinal lymphatic niche development through PDGFR{beta} cell signaling.

This study identifies the origin and renewal mechanisms of gut lacteal smooth muscles from villus myofibroblasts in mice, revealing a NOTCH3-DLL4 signaling role in their development and function.

The paper identifies a transient double basement membrane midline barrier in the chicken embryo that separates left and right sides of the dorsal mesentery during gut development.

This study identifies Playrr, a lncRNA that regulates Pitx2 dosage and protects against cardiac arrhythmias by modulating cardiac gene expression and atrial substrate.

The paper identifies the role of asymmetric Pitx2 in intestinal lacteal development and shows its protective effect against fatty liver disease through lymphatic-dependent lipid transport.
