Myb1 functions as a switch-like regulator of state transitions in Hortaea werneckii, whereby its expression and degradation are coupled to nutrient conditions, stabilizing unicellular or multicellular growth.

Epithelial remodeling is powered by contractile forces exerted by the actomyosin cytoskeleton. In invertebrates, pulsatile contractile flows of the medio-apical actomyosin cortex have been shown to be...

This collection highlights papers studying self-organization, symmetry breaking, and developmental organizers.

The left/right position of ventricles needs to be maintained after heart looping, an unexpected step affected in heterotaxy.

In birds and mammals, the formation of the primitive streak, the hallmark of the primary axis and site of gastrulation, is thought to occur when an anterior displacement of the hypoblast (visceral end...

Nature Communications - Vertebrate skeletogenic cells of different embryonic origins are distinct cell types, based on their lineage-specific gene regulatory logic that specifies them, and the...

A microfluidic measurement method translates oocyte mechanical characterization into oocyte quality assessment.

The amniote pallium contains sensory circuits that are structurally and functionally equivalent, yet their evolutionary relationship remains unresolved. We used birthdating analysis, single-cell RNA a...
