The paper shows that the regulatory landscape controlling Hoxd gene expression in limbs was co-opted from an ancestral cloacal program in tetrapods.

This study identifies synovial joints in elasmobranchs but not cyclostomes, suggesting their origin in the common ancestor of jawed vertebrates.

This study identifies conserved molecular mechanisms and stem cells in Xenopus tropicalis lung growth and repair, showing similarities with mammalian systems.

This paper introduces a method for high-resolution whole tissue imaging and automatic cell segmentation, demonstrating its application in studying epithelial bending in transgenic mice and catsharks.
