In transected nerves, distal repair Schwann cells are required at the injury site to direct and accelerate axonal regrowth

The paper shows that distal Schwann cells at the injury site are essential for guiding and accelerating axonal regrowth after nerve transection in larval zebrafish.

Oligodendrocyte Development and Myelin Sheath Formation are Regulated by the Antagonistic Interaction between the Rag-Ragulator Complex and TFEB

This study shows that TFEB and the Rag-Ragulator complex antagonistically regulate oligodendrocyte myelin sheath number and length in the central nervous system.

Unmyelinated neurons use Neuregulin signals to promote myelination of neighboring neurons in the CNS

The paper identifies nrg1 type II as a regulator of myelination in zebrafish spinal cord neurons, showing unmyelinated neurons signal to myelinate circuit partners.

Characterization of mouse Bmp5 regulatory injury element in zebrafish wound models

The paper identifies a small 142 bp enhancer in the mouse Bmp5 gene that is rapidly induced in injured tissues and responds to conserved signals.

Repression of lysosomal transcription factors Tfeb and Tfe3 is essential for the migration and function of microglia

This study shows that repression of Tfeb and Tfe3 is essential for microglia migration and function by regulating lysosomal activity in zebrafish.

Synaptic vesicle fusion along axons is driven by myelination and subsequently accelerates sheath growth in an activity-regulated manner
