Wnt5a Is Critical for the Maintenance of Cell Proliferation and Differentiation in Xenopus Tadpole Tail Regeneration
Wnt signaling is essential for tissue and organ regeneration in animals such as amphibians, and several Wnt ligands are highly expressed in regenerating tissues. However, little is known about the specific role played by each ligand and ...

A Continuous In Vitro Culture Protocol for Mouse Embryos From the Zygote to the Egg Cylinder Stage
Mouse embryos undergo drastic morphological changes during implantation, but analysis of this process has been challenging because it occurs within the uterus. Various in vitro culture systems supporting development beyond implantation h...

Ptbp1 Condensates With Phase Separation‐Like Features in Cardiomyocyte Nuclei Regulate Splicing of Proliferative Genes in Neonatal Cardiomyocytes
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; however, effective clinical therapies that achieve myocardial regeneration are still lacking, underscoring the urgent need for novel therapeutic strat...

PDMS‐Based Device for Long‐Term Imaging of Gut Peristalsis by Suppressing Tissue Drift in Chicken Embryos
Gut peristalsis is essential for the propulsion of luminal contents in the mature gut. Recent studies have suggested that embryonic peristalsis functions as a morphogenetic signal that regulates gut development. For these studies, long‐t...

Issue Information
Cover Photograph: A section of mouse testis (2.5 months old) stained with SYCP3 (green) and γH2AX (magenta) in which NANOS2 protein was knocked down at embryonic day 16.5. Spermatogenesis is largely disrupted because of incomplete meiosi...

Developmental Fates of Progenitor/Undifferentiated Cells With Histone Trimethylation Tags in the Stony Coral, Acropora tenuis
The stony coral, Acropora tenuis , possesses progenitor/undifferentiated cells similar to other anthozoans; however, their developmental potential and fate remain obscure. The present study initially showed that nerve progenitors and und...

Revisiting Pluripotency Acquisition: A Unified Framework for Reprogramming Strategies
The traditional hierarchical view of totipotent cells generating diverse lineages of terminally differentiated cells was challenged by the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This breakthrough demonstrated that the ectop...

Quantitative In Vivo Imaging of ATP Dynamics in Drosophila Using the Ratiometric Biosensor QUEEN
Genetically encoded ATP biosensors enable monitoring of cellular energy status, but their application in multicellular organisms remains limited. QUEEN is a ratiometric ATP biosensor consisting of a bacterial ATP‐binding protein fused to...

AID‐Mediated Protein Knockdown Reveals the Requirement of NANOS2 in Prenatal Gonocytes for Establishing Functional Spermatogonial Stem Cells
The RNA‐binding protein NANOS2 plays a crucial role in male gonocyte development and the maintenance of spermatogonial stem cells. In the absence of the Nanos2 gene ( Nanos2 ‐KO), germ cells fail to enter G0 arrest and initiate the male ...
