This study shows cell division is dispensable for differentiation of embryonic tissues in zebrafish but affects cell state proportions.

This study shows that cooperative self-assembly of transcriptional regulators can improve regulatory specificity and long-term stability of synthetic gene circuits in yeast.

The paper identifies Spock1 as a neuronal signal that regulates blood-brain barrier permeability by altering extracellular matrix and vascular gene expression in zebrafish and mice.

The paper shows that Hsf1 phosphorylation creates cell-to-cell variation in Hsp90 levels, which enhances phenotypic plasticity in budding yeast.
