The Cxcl14 chemokine defines pioneer axon guidance and early circuit assembly in the inner ear

This study identifies Cxcl14 as a chemokine guiding pioneer axons in inner ear circuit formation and shows its role in axon navigation and mechanosensory behavior.

Role of pioneer neurons and neuroblast behaviors on otic ganglion assembly

The paper investigates how pioneer neurons and neuroblast behaviors contribute to the 3D organization of the statoacoustic ganglion in zebrafish.

Neuroblast sensory quiescence depends of vascular cytoneme contacts and sensory neuronal differentiation requires initiation of blood flow

The paper shows that vasculature is a niche for cranial sensory neurogenesis in zebrafish, regulating neuroblast quiescence and differentiation through cytoneme contacts and blood flow.
