Tuning Collective Behaviour in Zebrafish with Genetic Modification

This study genetically modifies zebrafish to demonstrate how altering individual traits can tune collective behavior, showing mutant fish exhibit more orderly motion than wildtype.

Transformed notochordal cells trigger chronic wounds destabilizing the vertebral column and bone homeostasis

The paper shows transformed notochordal cells in zebrafish cause skeletal damage, chronic wound-like responses, and bone homeostasis disruption, linking chordomas to inflammation and IVD degeneration.

NCOA3 identified as a new candidate to explain autosomal dominant progressive hearing loss

The paper identifies NCOA3 as a candidate gene for autosomal dominant progressive hearing loss through linkage analysis and functional studies in zebrafish.
