The paper shows that primary cilia regulate programmed cell death by controlling the proteasomal degradation of MOAP1 through ciliopathy proteins like RPGRIP1L, TCTN1, and CEP290.

This study identifies novel functions of Foxi1 in regulating mucociliary progenitor cells and ionocyte specification through transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms in Xenopus laevis.

The paper identifies a homozygous WNT11 variant causing laterality, heart, and renal defects in an infant and shows its loss-of-function in Xenopus embryos.

AutoMorFi automates whole-image morphometric analysis, generating over 47 measurements per cell quickly and enabling new discoveries across diverse biological samples.

The paper investigates how Notch signaling and Hes factors regulate mucociliary cell fate specification in Xenopus tadpole epidermis through competitive de-repression.

This study investigates the evolutionary history of Brachyury genes in Hydrozoa, identifying duplications and functional divergence in Dynamena pumila.

The paper shows that multiciliated cells can trans-differentiate into secretory cells during developmental remodeling in Xenopus, induced by changes in signaling pathways.

This study identifies ΔN-Tp63 as a key mediator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in basal stem cells of mucociliary epithelia, showing its role in inhibiting differentiation and promoting hyperplasia.
