Feto-maternal microchimerism: Memories from pregnancy
iScience, 2022 Summary: There is a bidirectional transplacental cell trafficking between mother and fetus during pregnancy in placental mammals. The presence and persistence of fetal cells in maternal tissues are known as fetal microchimerism (FMc).

Developmental biology, the stem cell of biological disciplines. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Developmental biology (including embryology) is proposed as "the stem cell of biological disciplines." Genetics, cell biology, oncology, immunology, evolutionary mechanisms, neurobiology, and systems biology each has its ancestry in developmental biology.

Ediacaran developmental biology [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2017 ABSTRACTRocks of the Ediacaran System (635–541 Ma) preserve fossil evidence of some of the earliest complex macroscopic organisms, many of which have been interpreted as animals. However, the unusual morphologies of some of these organisms have made it difficult to resolve their biological relationships to modern metazoan groups. Alternative competing

miR-29cb2 promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis by inhibiting HIF-3α in bone
iScience, 2022 Summary: Coordination between osteogenesis and angiogenesis is required for bone homeostasis. Here, we show that miR-29cb2 is a bone-specific miRNA and plays critical roles on angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling during bone remodeling.

Non-muscle myosin II drives critical steps of nematocyst morphogenesis
iScience, 2023 Summary: Nematocysts are generated by secretion of proteins into a post-Golgi compartment. They consist of a capsule that elongates into a long tube, which is coiled inside the capsule matrix and expelled during its nano-second discharge deployed for ...

A lncRNA perspective into (re)building the heart
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 Our conception of the human genome, long focused on the 2% that codes for proteins, has profoundly changed since its first draft assembly in 2001. Since then, an unanticipatedly expansive functionality and convolution has been attributed to the majority ...

X-Linked Huwe1 Is Essential for Oocyte Maturation and Preimplantation Embryo Development
iScience, 2020 Summary: HUWE1 is a HECT-domain ubiquitin E3 ligase expressed in various tissues. Although HUWE1 is known to promote degradation of the tumor suppressor p53, given a growing list of its substrates, in vivo functions of HUWE1 remain elusive.
