Claudin-dependent clonal expansion couples epicardial activation to regenerative fate acquisition

This study shows that clonal expansion driven by Claudins is necessary for epicardial cells to transition into regenerative EPDCs after injury.

Brachyury expression levels predict lineage potential and axis-forming ability of in vitro derived neuromesodermal progenitors

The paper identifies two thresholds of Brachyury expression in NMPs that determine lineage potential and axis-forming ability in vitro.

Long-Range Coupling of Posterior Cell Addition and Anterior Vacuolation Provides Robustness in Notochord Elongation.

The paper models how progenitor addition and vacuolation interact in zebrafish notochord development, showing a feedback mechanism that maintains tissue proportions during elongation.

ForSys: non-invasive stress inference from time-lapse microscopy

ForSys estimates intercellular stresses and intracellular pressures from time-lapse microscopy, validated in silico and in vivo using Xenopus embryos and zebrafish.

Mechanical control of tissue growth during limb regeneration

This study shows that mechanical properties and YAP/TAZ activity influence position-dependent cell proliferation during axolotl limb regeneration.

Size matters: an analytical study on the role of tissue size in spatiotemporal distribution of morphogens unveils a transition between different reaction-diffusion regimes

This study analyzes how tissue size affects morphogen distribution in reaction-diffusion models, identifying a crossover size where finite and infinite domain models behave differently.

Post-embryonic development and aging of the appendicular skeleton in Ambystoma mexicanum

This study examines the post-embryonic development and aging of the appendicular skeleton in axolotls, showing continuous ossification and cellular changes throughout life.
