The paper shows how Nodal and Gdf1 spread freely while Dand5 is immobilized, shaping left-right asymmetry in zebrafish embryos.

The paper examines pyloric sphincter formation in Xenopus laevis during metamorphosis, finding that it forms during metamorphic climax and involves gene expression changes similar to amniotes.

The paper shows that cell cycle length controls H3K9me3 reprogramming in non-mammalian vertebrates by affecting DNA replication-dependent erasure and re-accumulation of the mark.

This study shows that KV-epithelial cells in zebrafish can transdifferentiate into mesodermal lineages after their initial role in left-right patterning.

The paper quantifies Wnt8 ligand dynamics in Xenopus embryos, showing most Wnt8 is bound to cell surfaces with dynamic exchange, leading to a graded distribution.
