Genetic and Functional Characterization of AMH Signaling in Zebrafish - Evidence for Roles of Amh-Bmpr2a-Bmpr1bb Pathway in Controlling Gonadal Homeostasis

Yiming Yue, Chu Zeng, Xin Zhang, Chao Bian, Zhiwei Zhang, Kun Wu, Weiting Chen, Xianqing Zhou, Ling Lu, Nana Ai, Wei Ge

The paper identifies the Amh-Bmpr2a-Bmpr1bb signaling pathway in zebrafish and shows its role in gonadal homeostasis, with gonadotropins contributing to gonadal hypertrophy.

Phenotypical Rescue of Bmp15 Deficiency by Mutation of Inhibin α (inha) Provides Novel Clues to How Bmp15 Controls Zebrafish Folliculogenesis

Yue Zhai, Cheng Zhao, Ruijing Geng, Kun Wu, Mingzhe Yuan, Nana Ai, Wei Ge

This study shows that bmp15 deficiency in zebrafish causes follicle arrest and sex reversal, which can be rescued by inhibin mutation, revealing interactions between bmp15 and the activin-inhibin system in folliculogenesis.
