Dynamic cell fate plasticity and tissue reintegration drive functional adult synovial joint regeneration after complete resection - Nature Communications
Joint injury and disease are leading causes of disability, with mammalian joints exhibiting poor regenerative capacity. Here the authors showed that after loss of a whole joint, adult zebrafish regenerate de novo articular cartilage, ligament, and synovium into a complex joint organ.

New preprint!
How are developmental cycles coordinated across cell types?
It turns out that, like Geppetto's cuckoo clocks in the GIF below, individual cell types are each performing their own little crazy routine, but all in sync with each other.
