This study develops a tool to visualize and manipulate endogenous Yap1 in medaka, revealing its dynamics during development and regeneration.

The paper shows that prolonged stemness in the tail of Japanese eels drives extreme axis segmentation through delayed Hox13 activation and sustained Oct4 expression.

This study shows that spatial and temporal control of axis segmentation in medaka fish are dissociable modules, identified through devQTL mapping and CRISPR validation.

The paper develops a multi-species brain atlas platform for comparative neuroscience in teleost fish, revealing species-specific neural structures and enabling gene expression and activity comparisons.

The paper identifies organ-founder stem cells that mediate post-embryonic neuromast formation in medaka fish, showing their dynamic behavior and role in organogenesis.

This paper develops a simplified CRISPR/Cas9 method for endogenous protein tagging in medaka, achieving high efficiency and single-copy integration.

The paper shows that epithelial integrity guides neuromast positioning in medaka's posterior lateral line, independent of neuronal wiring.

This study identifies desmogon as essential for vacuolated cell shape and notochord morphology in Medaka, revealing developmental heterogeneity and injury sensing mechanisms.

The paper shows neural stem cells induce the formation of an outer border cell lineage during medaka organogenesis through clonal analysis and 4D imaging.
