The paper introduces a tissue-clearing framework and mesoSPIM-ultra system for large-scale single-neuron tracing in cleared mouse tissue.

The paper develops a zebrafish model of accelerated muscle atrophy by inducing Atrogin-1 expression, showing muscle degeneration, locomotion dysfunction, and neurodegenerative effects.

The paper shows that vertebral segmentation during axolotl tail regeneration occurs via a buckling instability mechanism, distinct from the somite-based process in embryonic development.
