Welcome to the fat-tailed dunnart that is making a name for itself as a marsupial model for developmental, evolutionary, and ecological studies. Marsupials currently remain underutilized in developmental biology studies, which limits our understanding of mammalian diversity. Mammals are a highly diverse lineage of vertebrates, comprising nearly 6500 extant species, classified into three clades: Prototheria, Metatheria, and Eutheria, also known as monotreme, marsupial, and placental mammals, respectively. The fat-tailed dunnart is an emerging laboratory animal, and in this study, the authors stablished methods to confirm pregnancy and generate timed embryos. This facilitated the collection and description of dunnart embryo development from cleavage to birth. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of dunnart organogenesis and heterochronic growth patterns, especially in comparisons with other species, highlight the dunnart's accelerated craniofacial and limb development, which are characteristic of marsupials. This makes the dunnart a valuable model system for investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms’ underlying heterochrony.</p><p>In an accompanying study, “Breeding fat-tailed dunnarts (<i>Sminthopsis crassicaudata</i>) in captivity: revised practices to minimise stress whilst maintaining considerations of wild biology” by Emily Scicluna, Axel Newton, Jennifer Hutchison, Alicia Dimovski, Kerry Fanson, Gail D'Souza, Shiralee Whitehead and Andrew Pask (need to add in doi number and make sure its linked to web), the authors re-examine current captive management techniques for dunnarts, which rely on scent marking for their social communication and interactions.

Twist1 is a basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor, first identified in Drosophila as a crucial regulator of mesoderm development. Twist1 is evolutionarily highly conserved and can induce epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) during development and in the pathogenesis of cancer metastasis. Twist1, therefore, plays a key role in a variety of developmental processes, including mesoderm formation, neurulation, neural crest cell formation, neurogenesis, and organogenesis. This review article discusses the physiological roles of Twist1 in osteogenic, chondrogenic, and myogenic differentiation and the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways mediated by Twist1. In addition, it summarizes the structure of Twist1, its post-translational regulation, and roles in developmental disorders and diseases, with a focus on cellular differentiation. Finally, the authors consider Twist1 as a biomarker for mesenchymal stem cells and speculate that stem cell fate can be regulated through metabolic reprogramming as part of a discussion of new strategies for clinical research involving Twist1 as a regulator of EMT and in organogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Craniofacial Biology&lt;/b&gt; “Transcription factor Meis1b regulates craniofacial morphogenesis in zebrafish” by Viktorie Psutkova, Petr Nickl, Veronika Brezinova, Olga Machonova and Ondrej Machon &lt;i&gt;DevDyn&lt;/i&gt; 254.1, pp. 40–60. https://doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.731.

The pancreas has evolved to include both endocrine and exocrine cells, a change that occurred during the transition from fish to amphibian. This event emphasizes the evolutionary significance of amphibians. However, research has focused predominantly on anuran amphibians, with urodeles, such as newts, remaining underexplored. In this study, we investigated the development of the pancreas using <i>Pleurodeles waltl</i> as a model species of urodele.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The newt pancreas consists of a single organ with exocrine tissue characterized by acinar structures and endocrine tissue forming islets. Notably, the newt possesses unique pancreas-like tissues on their intestines. We found that disruption of the newt Pancreatic and Duodenal Homeobox (Pdx) 1 gene resulted in an underdeveloped pancreas. Conversely, disruption of the <i>Pdx2</i> paralog in newt had no significant impact on pancreatic development.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The newt pancreas shows a morphology similar to that of the mammalian pancreas, which includes both exocrine and endocrine tissues. These results highlight the intermediate evolutionary position of the newt in the context of the evolution of pancreatic development.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Our findings indicate that characterization of the newt pancreas will be crucial for understanding the evolutionary progression of pancreatic function in vertebrates.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11247,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Dynamics","volume":"254 7","pages":"812-828"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142946343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
