This study investigates sex chromosome evolution in Nothobranchius killifishes, identifying multiple origins and structural differences in sex chromosomes across species.

This study shows WT1 promotes fibroblast survival and ECM production in IPF by impairing apoptotic clearance.

This study identifies Gdf6Y as the male sex-determining gene in Nothobranchius furzeri by suppressing female-specific genes through TGF-β signaling.

The paper generates a transparent killifish line by inactivating three pigmentation genes, enabling in vivo studies of aging and behavior.

This study identifies retinoids and sex hormone dysregulation as ageing-related features in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease subclasses using transcriptomic and metabolic analyses.

The paper shows that sustained WT1 expression impairs cardiomyocyte maturation and leads to their transformation into epicardial cells in zebrafish.

This study identifies Wt1-positive dB4 neurons in the hindbrain essential for respiration and shows their developmental role in regulating breathing.

This study shows that Wt1 deletion in mice leads to altered interneuron composition and locomotion defects.

The paper identifies a wound-specific notochord sheath cell subpopulation expressing Wilms Tumor 1b that forms a stopper-like structure during vertebra repair in zebrafish.
