The paper identifies pre-hematopoietic stem cells and their niche using spatial transcriptomics in the AGM region, revealing spatial signaling patterns and cellular interactions that support HSC development.

This study shows prdm1a drives a fate switch between zebrafish lateral line and ear hair cells, altering morphology and transcriptome.

The paper shows that amputation position affects tissue proliferation during regeneration by activating position-specific cell states that modulate ECM remodeling.

This study identifies two distinct multicellular niches in fetal liver and adult bone marrow that support hematopoietic stem cells with different cycling states and lineage biases.

The paper identifies and characterizes intermediate states during neural crest cell epithelial to mesenchymal transition and delamination using single-cell RNA sequencing.

This study generates single-cell transcriptomic atlases of the mouse vomeronasal organ, revealing new cell types, lineage relationships, and molecular mechanisms of receptor specification.

The paper identifies Fzd1 as a master regulator of the critical period for olfactory imprinting, showing its role in closing the period to lock in permanent odor memory circuits.

The paper shows how a transposon insertion can trigger germline gene silencing via piRNA biogenesis and how a second insertion can reverse this silencing by altering the same process.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze branchial arch development in chick embryos, identifying novel cell type markers and a conserved transcriptional signature of invasive neural crest cells.
