This study identifies BLIMP1 and CASZ1 as mutually repressive transcription factors that regulate intestinal enterocyte maturation during weaning and corticosteroid-induced maturation.

The paper shows that epidermal actomyosin contractility controls sensory nerve ending positioning by pruning nerve fibers and establishing a mechanical boundary.

This study shows that Net1 mRNA localization at the dermal-epidermal junction influences epithelial tissue organization by regulating RhoA activity and DEJ structure.

The paper identifies desmosomal proteins as essential for cortical compartmentalization of translation and mRNA, revealing dynamic regulation of the cortical translatome in response to wounding.

This paper introduces a system for spatial and temporal control of GFP-tagged protein degradation in mice, demonstrating its application to study the glucocorticoid receptor in the epidermis.

The paper identifies molecular and mechanical features of intermediate and granular cells in epidermal development, showing contractility drives granular fate and barrier formation.
