Pax9 governs anterior identity and deployment of sclerotome to the median fins

Sarah McLeod, Margaret Keating, Ziyu Dong, Raisa Bailon‐Zambrano, Katrinka M. Kocha, Sandhya Paudel, Abigail Mumme‐Monheit, Melissa Scott-Preusse, Colette A. Hopkins, Raelyn Begay, Peng Huang, Guangjun Zhang, James T. Nichols, Lindsey A. Barske

This study shows that Pax9 is essential for anterior identity and proper deployment of sclerotome cells in the caudal fin of zebrafish, leading to fusion with the anal fin and altered skeletal development.

Sox10 is required for systemic initiation of bone mineralization

Stefani Gjorcheska, Sandhya Paudel, Sarah McLeod, David Paulding, Louisa Snape, Karen Camargo Sosa, Cunming Duan, Robert Neil Kelsh, Lindsey A. Barske

The paper shows that Sox10 is required for systemic calcium uptake necessary for bone mineralization, through regulation of Stc1a production by neural crest cells.

Midfacial retrusion and loss of facial appendages caused by mutation of Pax9 in zebrafish

Sandhya Paudel, Sarah McLeod, Stefani Gjorcheska, Lindsey A. Barske

This study shows that Pax9 mutation in zebrafish causes midfacial retrusion and loss of facial appendages, but not pharyngeal teeth, suggesting Pax9's role in mesenchymal condensation for non-tooth structures.
