HOXA3 functions as the on-off switch to regulate the development of hESC-derived third pharyngeal pouch endoderm through EPHB2-mediated Wnt pathway

Frontiers in Immunology
ObjectivesNormal commitment of the endoderm of the third pharyngeal pouch (3PP) is essential for the development and differentiation of the thymus. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of transcription factor HOXA3 in the development and ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Deletion of a Pax1 Sex‐Associated Genomic Region Associated With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Leads to Disc Degeneration, Instability, and Vertebral Rotation in Mice

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 18, 15 May 2026.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

International Registry of NKX2‐1‐Related Disorders: Clinical, Genetic, and Imaging Perspectives

Movement Disorders, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 889-900, April 2026.
Abstract Background NKX2‐1–related disorders result from heterozygous variants in NKX2‐1, a gene crucial for brain, lung, and thyroid development. Although movement disorders, hypothyroidism, and neonatal respiratory distress are recognized, the full phenotype and genotype–phenotype relationships remain incompletely defined.

Human Atlas of Tooth Decay Progression: Identification of Cellular Mechanisms Driving the Switch from Dental Pulp Repair Toward Irreversible Pulpitis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Tooth decay progression transforms the dental pulp response from repair to fibrosis. At early stages, stromal cells reprogram to repair the extra cellular matrix (ECM), blood vessels, and nerves, remodel and grow, keeping repair possible. In advanced decay, hypoxia, and vessel regression, in complement with an immune switch, fuel nerve degeneration and

Lysine Acetyltransferase 6 in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
KAT6A and its paralog KAT6B have emerged as druggable targets for the treatment of malignancies, especially for breast cancer. Recent progress in drug discovery has promoted the development of dual inhibitors targeting KAT6A and KTA6B, which shows potent antitumor efficacy and manageable toxicity.
