Long-lived chondroprogenitors are generated by fetal-limb Gli1+ cells and are replenished upon mosaic cell-cycle arrest in the cartilage

The paper identifies Gli1+ cells as fetal precursors of long-lived cartilage progenitors and shows they can compensate for cell-cycle arrest in cartilage.

Compensatory growth and recovery of tissue cytoarchitecture after transient cartilage-specific cell death in foetal mouse limbs

This study shows that transient cartilage-specific cell death in fetal mouse limbs is repaired through a two-step process involving delayed and then accelerated chondroprogenitor differentiation, with mTORC1 activation playing a key role in recovery.

The Nestin neural enhancer is essential for normal levels of endogenous Nestin in neuroprogenitors but is not required for embryo development

The paper investigates the role of the Nestin neural enhancer in regulating Nes expression during embryonic development and shows it is not essential for embryo viability.

A new pipeline to automatically segment and semi-automatically measure bone length on 3D models obtained by Computed Tomography

The paper presents a semi-automated pipeline for fast and non-destructive measurement of bone length from micro-CT images of mouse developmental samples.
