N-Myc downstream regulated gene 1b is a regulator of cell adhesion during early muscle development

This paper identifies Ndrg1b as a regulator of N-cadherin trafficking during zebrafish muscle development, showing its role in cell adhesion and tissue integrity.

N-myc Downstream Regulated Gene 1 (NDRG1) functions as a molecular switch for cellular adaptation to hypoxia

This study identifies Ndrg1a as a molecular switch that facilitates hypoxia adaptation by promoting NKA degradation, preserving ATP in kidney and ionocytes of zebrafish embryos.

Hypoxia Regulation of ndrgs

The paper investigates the hypoxia-dependent regulation of ndrg1-4 genes in zebrafish embryos, showing ndrg1a is highly upregulated under prolonged anoxia and expressed in new tissues.

Hingepoints and neural folds reveal conserved features of primary neurulation in the zebrafish forebrain

This study identifies hingepoints and neural folds in zebrafish forebrain development, revealing conserved neurulation features previously thought unique to amniotes and amphibians.
