The Cxcl14 chemokine defines pioneer axon guidance and early circuit assembly in the inner ear

Mireia Rumbo, Aitor Bañón, Alex V. Nechiporuk, Berta Alsina

This study identifies Cxcl14 as a chemokine guiding pioneer axons in inner ear circuit formation and shows its role in axon navigation and mechanosensory behavior.

Neuroblast sensory quiescence depends of vascular cytoneme contacts and sensory neuronal differentiation requires initiation of blood flow

Laura Taberner, Aitor Bañón, Berta Alsina

The paper shows that vasculature is a niche for cranial sensory neurogenesis in zebrafish, regulating neuroblast quiescence and differentiation through cytoneme contacts and blood flow.
