This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze Merkel cell regeneration in zebrafish, identifying molecular transitions and conserved features across species.

This study identifies dynein-microtubule forces as essential for nuclear translocation and transmigration in T cells, showing dynein's dual role as a motor and force-transmission element.

This study shows that microtubules regulate Langerhans cell phagocytosis and directed migration in zebrafish skin by controlling dendrite morphology and navigation.

The paper identifies dendritic atoh1a+ cells as transient intermediates in zebrafish Merkel cell development and regeneration, showing their role in morphology acquisition through actin remodeling and Ectodysplasin A signaling.

This study examines calcium dynamics in Langerhans cells during homeostasis and tissue injury, showing context-specific changes and their role in engulfment of keratinocyte debris.

This study identifies Merkel cells in zebrafish, shows their origin and characteristics, and demonstrates their relationship with dermal appendages during skin development.

This study identifies a conserved morphogenetic mechanism by which epidermal cells ensheath somatosensory neurites, contributing to nociceptive function in Drosophila and zebrafish.
