This sesquiterpene hormone likely acted as a morphogenesis-to-differentiation switch in archaic embryos before it evolved its postembryonic function as the status quo regulator of insect metamorphosis.

The transmembrane protein Kit Ligand and the Kit receptor tyrosine kinase are required for synapse function between specific cell types in the mouse cerebellum.

Mouse models reveal fundamental roles of SMAD1/5 in mediating both bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathways and the transcriptional response to progesterone during decidualization.

Live imaging, transcriptional profiling and mouse models demonstrated that the mesenchyme controls the growth pace but not the mode of branching of the mammary epithelium and unveiled a unique function for Igf1/Igfr1 in embryonic development mammary gland.

In response to disruption of barrier functions mediated by septate junctions, Drosophila epithelial cells restrict endosomal degradation of transmembrane cell adhesion proteins to promote their recycling in order to maintain tissue integrity.

Ts65dn mice exhibit structural, functional, molecular, and genetic alterations that are modulated but unrecovered by prenatal chronic GTE-EGCG, highlighting the importance of holistic studies to understand complex disorders and treatments.

SNP-editing of human embryonic stem cells reveals cell type specific function of a genetic variant associated with changes in human jaw shape.

Rbm24 is controlled by Pou4f3 but not Gfi1 during cochlear hair cell development.
