FOXP Genes Regulate Purkinje Cell Diversity in Cerebellar Development and Evolution

The paper identifies Foxp genes as regulators of Purkinje cell diversity in cerebellar development and evolution, showing their role in subtype specification and species-specific cerebellar organization.

Gene expression patterns of the developing human face at single cell resolution reveal cell type contributions to normal facial variation and disease risk

This paper presents a single-nucleus RNA sequencing atlas of human craniofacial development, revealing cell type contributions to facial variation and disease risk.

Integrated single-cell transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses of cell-state transition and lineage commitment in the embryonic mouse cerebellum

The paper integrates single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing to analyze cell-state transitions and lineage commitment in the embryonic mouse cerebellum, identifying regulatory elements and validating gene regulatory networks.

FGFs are orchestra conductors of Shh-dependent oligodendroglial fate specification in the ventral spinal cord

The paper shows FGF signaling is required for ventral oligodendrocyte precursor cell generation alongside Shh, with FGFs also regulating Shh signaling and Olig2 expression.
