This study identifies RANK's role in shaping intestinal epithelial cell specialization in zebrafish, showing its impact on tuft and BEST4 cell development and immune responses.

The paper identifies a new external immune organ in zebrafish, the axillary lymphoid organ, suitable for live imaging of immune cell dynamics.

This study tracks the emergence of the circadian clock in Drosophila intestine cells, showing it begins after development and is influenced by hormone signaling and stem cell differentiation.

The paper creates a zebrafish intestinal cell atlas showing how the microbiome affects different cell types and processes.

The paper shows that Myt1 kinase inhibits Cdk1 to promote cell cycle exit and differentiation in Drosophila intestinal progenitor cells.
