Synergistic and independent roles for Nodal and FGF in zebrafish CPC migration and asymmetric heart morphogenesis

This study by Gonzalez and team has now been published in Development. When comparing the preprint uploaded to BioRxiv on May 18, 2025 with the peer-reviewed paper, one main difference in content can be observed. This revolves around the relationship between FGF, F-actin and the resulting migration of cardiac progenitors during cardiac jogging. Cardiac jogging…

October in preprints – DevBio & Stem cell biology

Each month, preLighters with expertise across developmental and stem cell biology nominate a few recent developmental and stem cell biology (and related) preprints they’re excited about and explain in a single paragraph why. Short, snappy picks from working scientists — a quick way to spot fresh ideas, bold methods and papers worth reading in full. These preprints can all be found in the October preprint list published on the Node.
