Epithelial Self-Organization Patterns the Tadpole Oral Disc

Cheng Chen, Nuo Ding, Ying Sun, Jiaxing Huang, Shuo Wang

This study shows that the tadpole oral disc develops through epithelial self-organization without mesenchymal organizers, leading to module-specific variations that mirror evolutionary patterns.

Steller: a high-resolution platform for spatial clonal tracing of mammalian brain development

Zhuxia Li, Ce Wang, Chipeng Guo, Yuanxin Liao, Cheng Chen, Qiaorui Xing, Weike Pei, Guangdun Peng

Steller improves clonal detection sensitivity in spatial transcriptomics and reveals region-specific spatial clonal architectures in the developing mouse forebrain.
