This study shows Alizarin Red S causes skeletal and nervous system defects in embryos by inhibiting catalase, leading to increased reactive oxygen species.

The paper identifies two proteins, Ccdc78 and Ccdc33, at the distal tip of vertebrate motile cilia, showing they are essential for cilia organization, length regulation, and function.

This study shows that both PFOA and Gen X, two PFAS compounds, are teratogenic to sea urchin embryos, with Gen X causing more severe developmental effects.

The paper shows that left-right asymmetry in chick embryos begins before the formation of the left-right organizer, detected through biophysical analysis of cellular flows.

The paper tests artificial substrates with local alkalinity enhancement to improve survivorship of early-stage coral recruits under reef-like conditions.

The paper investigates the relationship between midline morphogenesis and large-scale cell flow during amniote gastrulation, finding that cell flow is maintained independently of primitive streak extension.
