This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify gene regulatory networks and lineage trajectories in human fetal thymic epithelial cells, revealing interferon response pathways that distinguish thymic epithelium from other anterior foregut-derived organs.

This study identifies a new role for Twist1 in neural tube development and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cranial neural crest cells, showing its interaction with Irf6 and impact on cytoskeletal remodeling and facial morphology.
