This study identifies a zebrafish mutation in ddx49 causing differential cell-type vulnerability in pigment cells due to impaired ribosome biogenesis.

This study investigates the role of Dachsous cadherins in regulating the yolk microtubule and actin cytoskeleton during zebrafish epiboly, showing their necessity for microtubule dynamics and cytoskeletal organization.

This study identifies inppl1a as a gene regulating cell expansion in zebrafish notochord, spine morphogenesis, and endochondral bone lengthening, revealing a conserved mechanism across species.

This study shows that CARMIL3 is essential for endodermal cell migration and morphogenesis during zebrafish embryogenesis, affecting Kupffer's vesicle formation and left/right asymmetry.

This study identifies mutations affecting spine development in zebrafish, revealing new candidate genes for human spine disorders like scoliosis.

This study shows that the Reissner fiber, secreted by the subcomissural organ in zebrafish, is essential for spine morphogenesis and its loss leads to scoliosis.
