The paper identifies iridosomes as a subtype of lysosome-related organelles (LROs) in zebrafish, showing their role in guanine crystal formation through molecular and structural analysis.

The paper investigates the role of pH changes in guanine accumulation and crystallization within zebrafish iridosomes, showing that acidic conditions and V-ATPase activity drive crystal formation.

This study investigates the molecular pathways in leucophores, revealing shared and distinct mechanisms with other pigment cells for crystal formation.

The paper shows zebrafish stripe patterns arise from in situ differentiation of iridophore crystallotypes, not migration, with distinct transcriptomic and physiological states in stripe and interstripe regions.

The paper demonstrates that Plvap regulates the rate of blood-borne protein passage through fenestrated endothelia in the hypophysis using zebrafish models.

The paper identifies two distinct leucophore populations in zebrafish, showing their different origins and functional roles through single-cell transcriptomics and other analyses.
