Background The heterogeneity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is poorly understood,
thus limiting clinical application and basic research reproducibility. Advanced single‐cell …

The fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play a critical role during palatogenesis by mediating a
variety of cellular responses. Extensive epidemiological and genetic studies over several …

The vertebrate inner ear is a labyrinthine sensory organ responsible for perceiving sound
and body motion. While a great deal of research has been invested in understanding the …

The TFAP2 family regulates gene expression during differentiation, development, and
organogenesis, and includes five homologs in humans. They all possess a highly conserved …

Objectives: The variability in outcomes of cochlear implantation is largely unexplained, and
clinical factors are not sufficient for predicting performance. Genetic factors have been …

This study elucidated the role of DHA-modulated genes in the development and growth of
Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) larvae ingesting increasing levels of DHA in their …

Renal functional units known as nephrons undergo patterning events during development
that create a segmental array of cellular compartments with discrete physiological identities …

Environmental factors such as diet, gut microbiota, and infections have proven to have a
significant role in epigenetic modifications. It is known that epigenetic modifications may …

ABSTRACT HOTAIRM1 is unlike most long non-coding RNAs in that its sequence is highly
conserved across mammals. Such evolutionary conservation points to it having a role in key …

Formation of neural and sensory progenitors in the inner ear requires Sox2 in mammals,
and in other species is thought to rely on both Sox2 and Sox3. How Sox2 and/or Sox3 …
