Neural crest cell derived DKK1 modulates Wnt signalling in the second heart field to orchestrate cardiac outflow tract development

Sophie Wiszniak, Dimuthu Alankarage, Iman Lohraseb, Ceilidh L. Marchant, Genevieve A. Secker, Deepti Domingo, Jasmine Hartmann, Tianyang Zhang, Wendy Parker, John Toubia, Melissa A. White, Sandra Piltz, Markus Tondl, Eleni Giannoulatou, David Scott Winlaw, , Quenten Schwarz

The paper identifies DKK1 from neural crest cells as a regulator of Wnt signaling in the second heart field, crucial for cardiac outflow tract development and linked to congenital heart disease.

NEDD4 promotes Sertoli cell proliferation and adult Leydig cell differentiation in the murine testis

Simon P. Windley, Yasmine Neirijnck, Diana Vidovic, Quenten Schwarz, Sharad Kumar, Serge Nef, Dagmar Wilhelm

This study identifies NEDD4's role in promoting Sertoli cell proliferation and adult Leydig cell differentiation in murine testis development through PI3K-AKT signaling and steroidogenesis.

Motor nerves direct the development of the sympathetic nervous system

Alek G. Erickson, Alessia Motta, Maria Eleni Kastriti, Steven J. Edwards, Fanny Coulpier, Emy Théoulle, А. Р. Муртазина, Irina V. Poverennaya, Daniel Wies, Jérémy Ganofsky, Giovanni Canu, François Lallemend, Piotr Topilko, Saïda Hadjab, Kaj Fried, , Igor I. Adameyko

This study shows that motor nerves guide the development of sympathetic ganglia by directing the migration and differentiation of neural crest-derived sympathoblasts.

Notch signaling is a critical initiator of roof plate formation as revealed by the use of RNA profiling of the dorsal neural tube

Shai Ofek, Sophie Wiszniak, Sarah A. Kagan, Markus Tondl, Quenten Schwarz, Chaya Kalcheim

The paper uses transcriptome analysis to identify genes involved in Notch-dependent roof plate formation and shows Notch signaling is critical for RP development and fate determination.

The GINS complex is required for the survival of rapidly proliferating retinal and tectal progenitor cells during zebrafish development

Máté Varga, Kitti Csályi, István Bertyák, Dóra K. Menyhárd, Richard J. Poole, Kara L. Cerveny, Dorottya Kövesdi, Balázs Barátki, Hannah Rouse, Zsuzsa Vad, Thomas A. Hawkins, Heather L. Stickney, Florencia Cavodeassi, Quenten Schwarz, Rodrigo Young, Stephen W. Wilson

This study shows that the GINS complex is essential for DNA replication in rapidly dividing retinal and tectal progenitor cells in zebrafish, leading to apoptosis in these cells when GINS function is absent.

Compensatory mechanisms render Tcf7l1a dispensable for eye formation despite its requirement in eye field specification

Rodrigo Young, Thomas A. Hawkins, Florencia Cavodeassi, Heather L. Stickney, Quenten Schwarz, Lisa M. Lawrence, Claudia Wierzbicki, Bowie Yik-Ling Cheng, Jingyuan Luo, Elizabeth Mayela Ambrosio, Allison Klosner, Ian M. Sealy, Jasmine Rowell, Chintan A. Trivedi, Isaac Henry Bianco, , Stephen W. Wilson

The paper shows that Tcf7l1a is essential for eye field specification in zebrafish but not for eye development, as mutants develop normal eyes through compensatory mechanisms.
