This study shows that actomyosin organization in zebrafish cardiomyocytes drives cell shape changes during heart chamber curvature formation, influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

The paper introduces a method to analyze nematic order on tissue surfaces of arbitrary geometry, validated in vitro and in vivo, revealing physical insights through 3D reconstruction from 2D image stacks.

This study investigates how multiscale mechanical and chemical interactions drive the functional maturation of the zebrafish heart during development.

This study identifies border-zone cardiomyocytes and macrophages as key contributors to ECM remodeling that facilitates cardiomyocyte invasion during zebrafish cardiac regeneration.

The paper shows that mechanical fracturing of the cardiac extracellular matrix patterns delamination in the zebrafish heart, independent of biochemical signals.

This study shows that epicardial impairment in zebrafish leads to smaller ventricles due to defective cardiomyocyte growth, highlighting the role of FGF and VEGF signaling in cardiac morphogenesis.

This study shows that Apelin signaling-dependent endocardial protrusions are essential for cardiac trabeculation by modulating cardiomyocyte behavior through Neuregulin and Erk signaling.

This study identifies Snai1's role in maintaining myocardial wall integrity by repressing intermediate filament gene expression in zebrafish.
