The paper investigates how Axin1 and Axin2 regulate WNT signaling to specify distinct mesoderm lineages during gastrulation.

This study identifies SP5 and SP8 as transcription factors that drive primary cilia formation through genetic and transcriptomic analyses in mouse embryos.

The paper shows that epiblast cells ingress during mouse gastrulation through a ratchet-like apical constriction driven by asynchronous shrinkage of apical junctions.

This study identifies a Pold1 hypomorphic mutation in mice that causes reduced embryo size and morphogenetic defects during gastrulation, highlighting the need for coordinated growth and lineage specification.

This study identifies Sonic hedgehog signaling as a regulator of patterned apical constriction during cranial neural tube closure, revealing its role in preventing exencephaly.

The paper identifies YTHDC2 as essential for meiotic progression in mice, showing its role in gene expression transitions and its evolutionary conservation.

The paper identifies Dnmt3c as a fifth DNA methyltransferase paralog essential for retrotransposon methylation and male germline function in mice, revealing its role in meiosis and transposon repression.
