The paper traces the embryonic origin of calcitonin-producing cells across vertebrates and finds they derive from pharyngeal endoderm, not neural crest, and identifies homologues in invertebrate chordates.

This study shows adult zebrafish can regenerate jaw joint ligaments without scarring through dedifferentiation of ligamentocytes and ECM remodeling, with legumain playing a key role.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze zebrafish inner ear cells, identifying distinct hair cell and supporting cell subtypes and their spatial organization.

The paper shows that the zebrafish pseudobranch develops from mandibular arch tissues and shares features with gills, supporting the hypothesis that vertebrate jaws evolved from modified gills.

The paper integrates single-cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility data from zebrafish cranial neural crest cells across their lifetime to identify region-specific chromatin remodeling and lineage-priming factors.

The paper identifies Foxc1's role in establishing chromatin accessibility for facial cartilage enhancers during zebrafish development.

The paper identifies a conserved Pou3f3 enhancer that drives divergent gill cover patterns in jawed vertebrates by regulating pharyngeal arch expression.
