The paper identifies three constitutive Muller glia subtypes in the zebrafish retina that define spatial morphogen axes and neuron-associated programs, showing functional heterogeneity in the healthy retina.

The paper shows weak magnetic fields affect Xenopus laevis tadpole pigmentation in a light- and eye-dependent manner consistent with the radical pair mechanism.

The paper introduces OCaMP, an orange fluorescent calcium indicator that improves sensitivity and performance compared to existing green and red indicators for neural imaging.

The paper investigates the evolutionary role of TRPA1 in skin thermoregulation across vertebrates, finding it functions as a heat sensor in ectotherms and has evolved cold sensitivity in some mammals.

This study shows that melatonin, not light, primarily drives circadian regulation of melanin synthesis and melanophore proliferation in Xenopus laevis, with melatonin mimicking dark-phase gene expression.

This study identifies Sema3fb's role in modulating VEGF signaling to regulate endothelial sprouting during vascular development.

The paper identifies Semaphorin3f as a key regulator in establishing chamber-specific differentiation in the zebrafish heart by modulating gene expression boundaries between atrial and ventricular chambers.
