The paper shows that extrinsic MMPs drive epithelial shape change via basal ECM disassembly in Drosophila wing discs during pupal development.

This study creates a 3D molecular brain atlas of the hagfish, revealing ancestral and derived features of vertebrate brain organization.

The paper investigates how cilia motility influences the formation of left-right asymmetry in the basal bodies of mouse node cilia, showing it occurs independently of fluid flow and visceral organ laterality.

The paper identifies epigenetically distinct clonal compartments in the medaka fish dorsal pallium, revealing unique open chromatin patterns and synaptic features in the Dd2 region.

The paper analyzes motor-related neural activity in larval Drosophila during fictive locomotion, identifying neurons biased toward forward or backward movement.
