This study identifies mesenchymal Osr1+ cells as regulators of embryonic lymphatic vessel formation by controlling LEC proliferation and migration.

This study identifies Osr1 as essential for FAPs to support muscle regeneration by regulating communication with MuSCs and macrophages, and its loss leads to impaired regeneration and fibrosis.

The paper investigates the development of extraocular muscles, identifying retinoic acid's role in their formation and tendon attachment sites.

This study shows that Nf1 is required for postnatal muscle growth and metabolic homeostasis, with loss of Nf1 causing muscle atrophy and metabolic changes.

The paper identifies molecular niches regulated by connective tissue-associated transcription factors through RNA-seq and ChIP-seq in chick limb cells.

The paper improves gene feature delimitation from RNA-seq data in chickens by combining genome-guided gene prediction and de novo transcriptome assembly, increasing assignment rates by 20%.
