This study shows that microbiome-mediated biotransformation of effera(R) enhances epithelial barrier function in an ex vivo model by increasing SCFA production and modulating inflammatory responses.

The paper shows that transcriptome maturation during the cell cycle enables multilineage competence in cardiopharyngeal progenitors by coupling fate decisions with cell cycle phases.

The paper shows that the RNA switch for acetylcholine receptor clustering is conserved in Ciona robusta, with some structural differences in Nova and regulation by Ebf.

The paper identifies an FGF-driven feed-forward circuit that regulates the spatial and temporal differentiation of cardiopharyngeal mesoderm into heart and pharyngeal muscle precursors.
