The paper identifies six cis-regulatory elements controlling mdka expression in zebrafish telencephalic NSCs during development and regeneration, showing that their cooperation is necessary for full expression.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify lateral floor plate progenitor cells as the origin of intraspinal serotonergic neurons in zebrafish.

This study shows that Bbs1 is essential for maintaining photoreceptor outer segment lipid composition and function, with loss leading to early visual deficits and retinal degeneration.

This study identifies BMP/Id1 signaling as critical for maintaining NSC quiescence and regenerative capacity in adult zebrafish telencephalon, with Her4.1 as a key downstream target.

The paper identifies a PSMC3 variant causing a neurosensory syndrome with deafness and cataracts due to proteotoxic stress and impaired proteasome function.

The paper identifies a conserved enhancer module regulating id1 expression in zebrafish neural stem cells, showing BMP signaling controls NSC quiescence and proliferation.
