    Here is my paper recommendation, “Antagonistic Actions of Msx1 and Osr2 Pattern Mammalian Teeth into a Single Row”. This paper is talking about the genes that control the way in which our teeth grow into one row versus many rows of teeth.

    There is a paper talking about the retinal stem cells: “Cells previously identified as retinal stem cells are pigmented ciliary epithelial cells”
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2009 Apr 21;106(16):6685-90.
    Retinal stem cells have the potential to restore vision of people who suffer from blindness associated with retinal degeneration.

    I recommend this paper. But it seems to be difficult to understand.

    This is my recommendation, “Newborn horizontal cells migrate bi-directionally across the neuroepithelium during retinal development”

    We are going to read the paper that Yuqing suggested to read. First, I would like to thank everyone for your effort to suggest a paper. Second, I really think the other ones are interesting too. And I hope to see everyone writing a paragraph or two about your paper and tell us 1) what did the author study and why did they do that, 2) one key experiment that they did and 3) one take home message from the study.

    The paper we are going to read is done by a very prolific group led by Mike Dyer. I will tell you a few stories about his achievements before we start. If you can’t wait to see some of that, I encourage you to watch his 30 minutes long Cogan award lecture in 2008 ARVO meeting. He discussed one of his seminal studies on retinoblastoma.
