Sox9 prevents retinal degeneration and is required for limbal stem cell differentiation in the adult mouse eye

This study shows that Sox9 is essential for maintaining retinal integrity and limbal stem cell differentiation in adult mice through genetic ablation and single-cell RNA sequencing.

Genetic and morphological analysis shows the Nechisar Nightjar is a hybrid

The paper analyzes genetic and morphological data to determine the taxonomic status of the Nechisar Nightjar, concluding it is a hybrid with mitochondrial DNA from Standard-winged Nightjar and nuclear alleles from Freckled Nightjar.

Long-term iododeoxyuridine labelling analysis finds no evidence of ovarian germline stem cell activity in adult or ageing mice

This study uses IdU labeling to investigate ovarian germline stem cell activity in mice and finds no evidence of such activity in adult or aging mice.
