The paper uses long-read RNA sequencing to identify non-coding isoform switching that regulates cell fate during reprogramming.

This study describes a mouse model of DHDDS-CDG, showing seizures, myoclonus, and cognitive deficits linked to glycosylation defects and interneuron abnormalities.

This study shows that EML3 is essential for embryonic growth and cortical development, with its absence causing cobblestone brain malformation due to disrupted pial basement membrane structure.

This study shows that CLDN3 depletion in chick embryos increases tissue tension, leading to neural fold fusion defects in the spinal region by altering apical cytoskeletal dynamics.

This study identifies age-related vacuolation in multi-ciliated cells of the distal mouse oviduct, linked to reduced blood flow and unique cellular identity in the infundibulum and ampulla.

This study identifies ZMYM2 as essential for DNA methylation and silencing of germline genes and active transposons in embryonic development, revealing its role in maintaining genomic stability.

The paper identifies two distinct epithelial cell lineages in the oviduct, spatially separated along the distal-proximal axis, with distinct developmental origins.

This study shows that Prom1 expression in the mouse oviduct epithelium marks multiciliated and secretory cells, not a stem/progenitor population.
