Expression of Bisphosphoglycerate mutase, a key enzyme affecting the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, is augmented in the murine placenta challenged by gestational hypoxia in mice while its expression is attenuated in placenta of human FGR.

Combining mouse genetic, behavioral, and electrophysiological approaches revealed that a transcription factor is required to shape touch neurons' distal projections in the skin while dispensable for their survival and specification.

The SP1/KLF transcription factor Huckebein controls endoreplication in the Drosophila salivary gland, ensuring proper morphogenesis during organ formation.

ChIP-seq analysis reveals BMP signaling targets in a cnidarian and identifies ZSWIM4-6 as a dampener of the pSMAD1/5 gradient and a potential conveyor of the BMP-mediated gene repression.

Quantitative analysis of cell dynamics over a range of timescales reveals that core PCP is not required to organize large-scale tissue flows but does affect short timescale mechanics.

Cells know when to contribute to the maturing embryonic body axis by adjusting an internal timer to the conditions around them.

Extracellular signals mediated by the EphB2 receptor tyrosine kinase may access the effectors of fundamental cell functions controlled by MYCBP2.

The transcriptomes of individual cells of the 1- to 102-cell stages in Caenorhabditis elegans embryogenesis are identified along with 119 embryonic cell states during cell fate specification, including ‘equivalence-group’ cell identities.
