The paper shows that the regulatory landscape controlling Hoxd gene expression in limbs was co-opted from an ancestral cloacal program in tetrapods.

This study identifies an evolutionary conserved INK4-homolog, ink4ab, which triggers senescence and suppresses cancer by regulating reciprocal senescence and apoptosis pathways.

This study identifies the embryonic origins of the zebrafish pectoral girdle, revealing multiple developmental contributions and evolutionary implications for girdle transformation.

This study shows that ectodermal Wnt signalling restricts Shh signal transduction and chondrogenesis to the posterior gill arch environment in skates, establishing skeletal polarity.

This study identifies an evolutionarily conserved odontode gene regulatory network in suckermouth armored catfish that underlies dermal denticles development.

This study investigates frontal bone development in spotted gar, identifying cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with bone formation and highlighting potentially ancestral developmental processes.
