During organogenesis, epithelial tissues undergo extensive three-dimensional (3D) remodeling while simultaneously generating specialized cell types. Whether these transient architectural states active...

Limbs have distinct sidedness, with dorsal-ventral flexure allowing diverse movements that permit nuanced articulation and function. Hawkins et al. demonstrate that the genetic foundation of this patt...

Neural crest cells (NCCs) are progenitor cells vital in establishing the head, heart, gut and peripheral nervous system of vertebrate embryos. Disruptions to NCC development underlie neurocristopathie...

Neural crest cells differentiate into skeletogenic mesenchyme and neuro-glial lineages, thereby contributing to craniofacial formation. Here, single-cell analysis of cranial neural crest shows that sp...

A spatiotemporal atlas of the human meninges during early-to-mid gestation identifies asynchronous layer development and transcriptomic features of meningeal cells and demonstrates that pial fibroblas...

Birds use a variety of navigational strategies, including the geomagnetic field, especially when other cues are not available, such as under overcast or nocturnal conditions. Magnetite particles in th...

Summary: The call to arms for alternatives to model organisms of disease will fail without ongoing integration with – and validation against – complex animal models and support from the animal modelli...

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.

The gut microbiota, immune system, and enteric nervous system interact to regulate adult gut physiology. However, the mechanisms establishing gut physiology during development remain unknown. We repor...

March of Dimes names Dr. Leonard Zon winner of the 2026 Richard B. Johnston Jr., MD Prize for breakthroughs in developmental biology and treatments for blood disorders.

Transcription factor osr2 is identified as a specific marker and regulator of mural lymphatic endothelial cell (muLEC) differentiation and maintenance, and muLECs and border-associated macrophages sha...

Using a zebrafish genetic model of Ewing sarcoma, Vasileva et al. provide evidence for a neural crest origin of the disease. These findings offer new insight into how a single oncogenic fusion can hij...

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is seeking a Laboratory/Technical Assistant for the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience within the School of Arts and Sciences. Our mission is to un...

The developing heart integrates several progenitor cell types. Here they show that the pericardium enveloping the heart develops among cells that form the mesothelium around inner organs and body cavities, distinct from the classic heart field.

Neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) produce the spinal cord and musculoskeleton in the elongating anterior-posterior axis. In vivo, NMPs possess dual potency, coinciding with regions coexpressing SOX2 ...

Integration of neural crest cells into the endostyle developmental program promoted its evolution into the thyroid gland.
