The paper studies how epithelial holes grow and shape during olfactory orifice formation in zebrafish by analyzing cell dynamics and tissue interactions.

The paper shows that actomyosin contractility in olfactory placode neurons causes the skin epithelium to rupture, forming the nostril in zebrafish.

The paper shows that mechanical forces from adjacent eye tissue guide neuronal migration and axon extension in zebrafish olfactory placode development.

This study shows that disrupting NKCC1 in Schwann cells impairs their response to neuronal activity, leading to myelin defects and nerve pathology, which can be reversed by TTX treatment.
