This study identifies intradental high-threshold mechano-nociceptors that detect tooth damage, produce pain, and trigger protective reflexes.

The paper analyzes growth plate architecture in mouse embryos and finds that chondrocyte columns are not formed during embryonic bone elongation, suggesting different cellular mechanisms in pre- and postnatal development.

The paper deconstructs early gastrulation stages in Drosophila embryos by analyzing cell shape changes, divisions, and intercalations using computational methods.

The paper introduces 3D MAPs, a pipeline for analyzing chondrocyte morphology in growth plates, revealing allometric growth strategies and GDF5's regulatory role in tibia development.

The paper analyzes 3D nuclear morphology in mouse growth plates to reveal differences in nuclear shape across differentiation stages and opposing growth plates.

The paper identifies the developmental transition of entheses from embryonic to mature states, showing that migrating entheses replace Sox9+ progenitors with Gli1 lineage cells.
