InferAging: A non-invasive aging clock for quantifying individual differences in aging

InferAging quantifies biological aging by modeling deviations from chronological age, identifying accelerated and delayed agers in zebrafish using non-invasive phenotypes.

Fgf3 and Fgf10a regulate neuronal fasciculation through Schwann cell proliferation and infiltration in zebrafish posterior lateral line

Zbtb38 transcriptionally activates XIAP to regulate apoptosis in development and cancer

This study identifies Zbtb38 as a transcriptional activator of XIAP, showing its role in regulating apoptosis during development and cancer, with implications for therapeutic targeting.

The I-BAR domain protein baiap2l1a is required for protrusion and lateral elongation of epithelial microridge structures

This study identifies baiap2l1a as a key protein required for microridge formation in zebrafish epithelia, showing its role in protrusion and lateral elongation through its I-BAR domain.

Noise-resistant developmental reproducibility in vertebrate somite formation

This study develops a computational model of ERK-mediated somitogenesis to show how the segmentation clock maintains noise-resistant developmental reproducibility in vertebrate somite formation.

Size-reduced embryos reveal a gradient scaling based mechanism for zebrafish somite formation

The paper shows that a dynamically scaling gradient in the presomitic mesoderm regulates somite size control in zebrafish embryos.
