The transcription of a single olfactory receptor per neuron is enforced by epigenetic silencing of their enhancers

This study identifies TRIM66 as a key factor enforcing monogenic expression of olfactory receptors through epigenetic silencing of super-enhancers, impacting axonal projections and behavior.

Intraflagellar transport complex B proteins regulate the Hippo effector Yap1 during cardiogenesis

This study shows that IFT complex B proteins modulate YAP1 activity during cardiogenesis in zebrafish and mouse, linking cilia-related proteins to Hippo pathway regulation.

Actomyosin dynamics, Bmp and Notch signaling pathways drive apical extrusion of proepicardial cells

The paper identifies actomyosin dynamics and Notch/Bmp signaling as drivers of apical extrusion of proepicardial cells in zebrafish during heart development.
