Ultra-Slow Rhythmic Movement in the Elongating Tail of Xenopus Tadpoles

The paper identifies ultra-slow rhythmic movement in Xenopus tadpole tails during elongation, linking it to morphogenetic processes rather than locomotion.

Divergent mechanics of inner ear morphogenesis are coupled to developmental tempo over vertebrate evolution

The paper examines inner ear morphogenesis across 12 vertebrate species, finding that divergent mechanical processes in tissue expansion are coordinated with developmental tempo to maintain conserved morphology.

Self-organized patterning of peristaltic waves by suppressive actions in a developing gut

The paper investigates how peristaltic wave origins in chicken embryos transition from random to organized positions through suppressive actions and lateral inhibition.
