Reconstructing the emergence of the human chorion via HIPPO-mediated trophoblast induction

This study uses HIPPO pathway modulation to induce human trophectoderm and reconstruct chorion development in vitro, identifying key cell types and markers.

Unveiling Vertebrate Development Dynamics in Frog Xenopus laevis using Micro-CT Imaging

This paper uses micro-CT imaging to generate a comprehensive dataset of Xenopus laevis development, capturing morphological changes from tadpoles to adults for further analysis.

Rspo2 inhibits TCF3 phosphorylation to antagonize Wnt signaling during vertebrate anteroposterior axis specification

This study shows Rspo2 inhibits TCF3 phosphorylation to block Wnt signaling during Xenopus anteroposterior axis development.

Depletion of Ric-8B leads to reduced mTORC2 activity

This study shows that Ric-8B hypomorphism reduces mTORC2 activity in mice, leading to embryonic defects and impaired GPCR/G protein signaling.
