From Pixels to Discovery: Microscopy Image Analysis in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Modern microscopy generates data volumes that far exceed human analytical capacity. Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed microscopy image analysis into an engine for quantitative insights. This review retrac...

Emergence of the Endoderm in the Mammalian Embryo: From Cell Fate Specification to Gut Tube Formation
The endoderm is the embryonic tissue that gives rise to vital organ systems in both the developing embryo and adult animal. Cells with a definitive (embryonic) endoderm identity emerge from the pluripotent epiblast at gastrulation, and g...

Diversity and Evolvability of Self-/Nonself-Discrimination and the Origins of Vertebrate Adaptive Immunity
The ability to discriminate self from nonself is found throughout the tree of life and underlies a diverse range of processes, including immunity, mate choice, and cooperative social interactions. Self-/nonself-recognition also operates ...

Hidden Messages in Extracellular Vesicles: Cross-Kingdom RNA Communication in Plant and Microbe Interactions
RNAs are versatile polynucleotides that perform essential functions in coding, regulation, catalysis, and structural organization across all forms of life. While most RNAs function endogenously within an organism, certain RNAs, including...

mRNA-Scaffolded Cytoplasmic Compartments
The cytoplasm of vertebrate cells is compartmentalized into the cytosol and several messenger RNA (mRNA)-scaffolded condensates, present at steady-state conditions and in the absence of stress. They include TIS granules and the FXR1 netw...

Developmental Programming of Human Kidney Function
Seventy years of developmental studies have identified the cellular framework and key developmental mechanisms underpinning mammalian kidney development. This understanding has centered on rodent research, where developmental genetics in...

The Translation of Genetic Information in Neurodevelopment
Neurodevelopment is the transformation of genetic information into diverse neuronal phenotypes. Developmental signals initiate patterns of gene transcription and translation that drive progenitors toward a great variety of neurons and ne...

The Origin and Early Evolution of Fungi: Challenges, Inferences, and Principles
Fungi are widespread on our planet and essential for life as we know it, but how did they come about? Their last common ancestor lived hundreds of millions of years ago, but its characteristics, and the contours of early fungal evolution...

Interstitial Spaces: A Basolateral Source of Structure and Signals
The mammalian interstitium is a body-wide network of fluid-filled, prelymphatic spaces. Recent studies demonstrate that it exists at three scales in continuity both within and between organs, comprising intercellular, pericapillary, and ...

Emerging Patterns in the Functional and Developmental Genetics of Mimicry Supergenes
Development depends on the coordinated activity of many genes acting across time and space within each individual, yet many species can produce multiple discrete phenotypes. Such complex balanced polymorphisms are often controlled by sup...
