Opposing roles for lipocalins and a CD36 family scavenger receptor in apical extracellular matrix-dependent protection of narrow tube integrity

This study shows that lipocalin LPR-1 and scavenger receptor SCAV-2 have opposing roles in maintaining the apical extracellular matrix of narrow tubes in C. elegans.

Cited4a limits cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and proliferation during zebrafish heart regeneration

This study identifies cited4a as a regulator that suppresses cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and proliferation during zebrafish heart regeneration.

Sin3a Associated Protein 130kDa, sap130, plays an evolutionary conserved role in zebrafish heart development

The paper investigates the role of sap130a in zebrafish heart development, showing it regulates SHF cell accretion and maturation, leading to ventricular hypoplasia.

A multi-layered and dynamic apical extracellular matrix shapes the vulva lumen in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper describes the dynamic apical extracellular matrix in C. elegans vulva, showing its role in shaping the lumen through distinct molecular components and genetic regulation.
