This study compares genomic and anatomical features of cetaceans and hippos to determine if aquatic adaptations evolved independently or from a common ancestor.

This study shows that D-peptide crosslinked hydrogels induce adaptive immune responses that promote regenerative wound healing despite faster degradation.

This study identifies Msi1+ cells as rapidly cycling intestinal stem cells that regenerate the intestine independently of Lgr5high cells.

This study identifies ISLR as a stromal factor that suppresses epithelial Hippo signaling to promote intestinal regeneration and cancer.
