The paper shows microglia phagocytose medaka retinal stem cells under homeostasis, but Ccl25b-Ccr9a signaling is not essential for their maintenance.

This study identifies AXL as a key regulator of cardiac regeneration in axolotls and shows its role in inducing cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation in mammals without cell cycle re-entry.

This study demonstrates the use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) for efficient gene transfer in the axolotl nervous system, identifying suitable serotypes and applications for neuronal tracing.

This study uses single-cell genomics to analyze axolotl forebrain cell types, neurogenesis, and regeneration, identifying conserved neuron classes and injury responses.

The paper introduces the Medaka Inbred Kiyosu-Karlsruhe (MIKK) panel, a vertebrate genetic resource for genotype-to-phenotype studies, enabling controlled experiments on complex traits.

The paper analyzes genomic and epigenomic variation in the MIKK panel using long-read sequencing and pan-genome graphs, revealing novel structural variants and methylation patterns.

The paper shows that Igf1 receptor signaling in the ciliary marginal zone controls retinal growth independently of body size in medaka fish.

This study identifies a cell-autonomous factor that reprograms medaka Müller glia cells to exhibit regenerative responses similar to zebrafish Müller glia cells.

The paper shows Notch signaling regulates Atoh7 in medaka to pattern retinal cell types during post-embryonic growth.
