Salt-induced reduction of hyperswarming motility in Bacillus cereus MHS is associated with reduced flagellation, reduced nanotube formation and reduction in expression of quorum sensing regulator

This study shows that NaCl reduces swarming motility in Bacillus cereus MHS by decreasing flagellation, nanotube formation, and quorum sensing regulator expression.

FGF2 promotes the expansion of parietal mesothelial progenitor pools and inhibits BMP4-mediated smooth muscle cell differentiation

This study identifies FGF2's role in expanding parietal mesothelial progenitor pools and inhibiting BMP4-driven smooth muscle cell differentiation in developing pig and mouse models.

Ephrin Forward Signaling Controls Interspecies Cell Competition in Pluripotent Stem Cells

This study identifies Ephrin A ligands in mouse cells as mediators of cell death signaling to human pluripotent stem cells during interspecies co-culture, enhancing chimera formation when inhibited.

Generation of salivary glands derived from pluripotent stem cells via conditional blastocyst complementation

This study identifies Foxa2 as critical for salivary gland generation using conditional blastocyst complementation and demonstrates successful salivary gland development in mice.

Conditional blastocyst complementation of a defective Foxa2 lineage efficiently promotes generation of the whole lung

The paper identifies the Foxa2 lineage's role in lung development and demonstrates that conditional complementation of this lineage can generate a whole lung in mice.

Loss of CNOT9 begets impairment in gastrulation leading to embryonic lethality

This study shows that loss of CNOT9 leads to embryonic lethality due to impaired gastrulation, with defects in Lefty2 mRNA decay and cytoplasmic interactions with miRNA-RISC.
