A novel behavioural pipeline enables the quantitative analysis of the onset of movement in Drosophila embryos revealing that a microRNA modulates this process through regulatory effects in the sensory system.

Disrupted mesenchymal Bmpr1a-mediated signaling in fetal mouse lung leads to abnormal airway development and congenital pulmonary cyst formation.

Two atypical cadherins regulate organ growth by tuning the coupling of cell cycle duration to organ size.

Styxl2, a sarcomeric muscle-specific pseudophosphatase in vertebrates, functions in sarcomere assembly by promoting protein degradation of non-muscle myosin IIs.

Depletion of the TGFβ signal-transducer, SMAD4, in granulosa cells of growing follicles reduces the number of filopodia, termed transzonal projections, that stably attach to and mediate communication with the oocyte.

Growth-delayed offspring generated from eggs that lacked normal epigenetic programming exhibited a remarkable capacity to undergo late gestational fetal growth recovery, despite inefficient placental function.
