Differential proliferation regulates multi-tissue morphogenesis during embryonic axial extension: Integrating viscous modeling and experimental approaches.

This study develops a mathematical model to simulate how differential proliferation and mechanical interactions influence embryonic axial extension across multiple tissues.

The quail as an avian model system: its genome provides insights into social behaviour, seasonal biology and infectious disease response

The paper presents a high-quality quail genome and uses it to study social behavior, photoperiodism, and immune response to H5N1 influenza.

Multiscale quantification of tissue behavior during amniote embryo axis elongation

The paper quantifies tissue behavior during amniote embryo axis elongation using 4D imaging and analysis techniques, revealing coordinated tissue movements and the central role of the PSM in elongation.
