Genetic lineage tracing has been widely employed to investigate cell lineages and fate. However, conventional reporting systems often label the entire cytoplasm, making it challenging to discern cell boundaries. Additionally, single Cre-loxP recombination systems have limitations in tracing specific cell populations. This study proposes three reporting systems utilizing Cre, Dre, and Dre+Cre mediated recombination. These systems incorporate tdTomato expression on the cell membrane and PhiYFP expression within the nucleus, allowing for clear observation of the nucleus and membrane. The efficacy of these systems is successfully demonstrated by labeling cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. The potential for dynamic visualization of the cell membrane is showcased using intravital imaging microscopy or three-dimensional imaging. Furthermore, by combining this dual recombinase system with the ProTracer system, hepatocyte proliferation is traced with enhanced precision. This reporting system holds significant importance for advancing the understanding of cell fate studies in development, homeostasis, and diseases.

Unlabelled: Archaeal molecular biology has been a topic of intense research in recent decades as their role in global ecosystems, nutrient cycles, and eukaryotic evolution comes to light. The hypersaline-adapted archaeal species and serve as important model organisms for understanding archaeal genomics, genetics, and biochemistry, in part because efficient tools enable genetic manipulation. As a result, the number of strains in circulation among the haloarchaeal research community has increased in recent decades.

The origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) can be traced back to the Asian mouflon (Ovis gmelini), in the Near East around 10 000 years ago. Genetic divergence within mouflon populations can occur due to factors such as geographical isolation, social structures, and environmental pressures, leading to different affinities with domestic sheep. However, few studies have reported the extent to which mouflon sheep contribute to domestic sheep in different regions.

The oral mucosa undergoes daily insults, and stem cells in the epithelial basal cell layer regenerate gingiva tissue to maintain oral health. The Iroquois Homeobox 1 (IRX1) protein is expressed in the stem cell niches in human/mouse oral epithelium and mesenchyme under homeostasis. We found that Irx1+/- heterozygous (Het) mice have delayed wound closure, delayed morphological changes of regenerated epithelium, and defective keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation during wound healing.

The development of the human neocortex is highly dynamic, involving complex cellular trajectories controlled by gene regulation. Here we collected paired single-nucleus chromatin accessibility and transcriptome data from 38 human neocortical samples encompassing both the prefrontal cortex and the primary visual cortex. These samples span five main developmental stages, ranging from the first trimester to adolescence.

Notably, the C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 12/C-X-C Chemokine Receptor Type 4 (CXCL12/CXCR4) signalling pathway's activation is markedly increased in a mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Nonetheless, the precise contribution of this pathway to AAA development remains to be elucidated. The AAA mouse model was induced by local incubation with elastase and oral administration of β-aminopropionitrile.
