Non-invasive laser speckle imaging of extra-embryonic blood vessels in intact few-days-old avian eggs

The paper demonstrates non-invasive laser speckle imaging for visualizing blood vessels in avian eggs and monitoring embryonic development with machine learning.

Extracellular vesicle-localized miR-203 mediates neural crest-placode communication required for trigeminal ganglia formation

This study identifies miR-203 as a mediator of neural crest-placode communication via extracellular vesicles, essential for trigeminal ganglion formation.

Reconstructing the ancestral vertebrate brain using a lamprey neural cell type atlas

This study reconstructs the ancestral vertebrate brain by comparing a lamprey neural cell type atlas with data from jawed vertebrates, identifying shared features and evolutionary novelties.

Hmx gene conservation identifies the evolutionary origin of vertebrate cranial ganglia

The paper uses Hmx gene conservation to trace the evolutionary origin of vertebrate cranial ganglia, showing functional and regulatory conservation between Ciona and vertebrates.

P-bodies are sites of rapid RNA decay during the neural crest epithelial-mesenchymal transition

The paper shows that P-bodies mediate rapid RNA decay of Draxin during neural crest EMT in vivo, highlighting their role in post-transcriptional regulation of developmental processes.
