This study shows that ectopic SOX17 in Sertoli cells promotes Sertoli valve formation and partially rescues infertility in Sox17-null mice.

The paper shows Morc1 re-silences activated transposons in gonocytes by establishing heterochromatin, preventing their disruptive effects on the transcriptome.

This study identifies Rasip1 as a downstream target of Sox17 that enhances hematopoietic activity in intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters of midgestation mouse embryos.

This study shows that Sox17 expression in cardiac progenitor cells biases their fate toward the endocardium and regulates myocardium development through NOTCH signaling in mice.

This paper shows that Nr5a1 suppression during fetal development optimizes ovarian development by fine-tuning Notch signaling, using mouse models with altered Nr5a1 expression.
