An inducible tethered function assay reveals differential regulatory effects for the RNA-binding protein YBX3 and its domains.

The paper develops an inducible tethered function assay (iTFA) to analyze the regulatory effects of RNA-binding protein domains, specifically demonstrating its application to YBX3.

Conserved and diverged mechanisms for RNA target-site recognition by the multi KH-domain Bicaudal C protein

The paper investigates RNA target-site recognition by Bicc1 proteins across species, showing conserved and diverged mechanisms involving KH domains.

Frem1 activity regulated by Sonic Hedgehog signaling in the cranial neural crest mesenchyme guides midfacial morphogenesis

This study identifies Frem1 as a target of Sonic Hedgehog signaling in cranial neural crest cells, showing its role in midfacial morphogenesis and face shape variation.

Bicc1 and dicer regulate left-right patterning through posttranscriptionalcontrol of the Nodal-inhibitor dand5

The paper identifies Bicc1 and Dicer1 as regulators of left-right patterning by posttranscriptionally repressing Dand5, a Nodal inhibitor, downstream of flow sensing.
