The paper identifies a genetic maternal effect on microglia development through sox17 mutation in zebrafish, showing that maternal genotype impacts microglia and yolk sac precursor cells.

The paper introduces a method to estimate proofreading progress in connectomic datasets using global graph invariants, enabling optimal stopping points for reconstruction quality.

The paper maps physical cell-cell contacts in mouse visual cortex, revealing a dense contactome that exceeds synaptic connectivity and highlights the role of astrocytes in shaping the neural microenvironment.

The paper identifies an IL10 signaling axis that controls microglia lifespan through lysosomal dynamics in zebrafish and mouse models.

The paper maps the ultrastructural organization of a spinal sensorimotor circuit in zebrafish, showing how astroglia interact with synapses to modulate information flow.

The paper identifies Myocilin as a marker for glia limitans superficialis astrocytes in mouse and human, showing their specialized morphology and evolutionary conservation.

The paper shows that developmental microglia in zebrafish die after becoming phagocytic, leading to a cycle of debris production and cannibalism that shortens their lifespan.

This study identifies Piezo1-mediated mechanosensitive Ca2+ transients in zebrafish DRG satellite glia, showing distinct mechanisms for different types of spontaneous activity.

The paper identifies a distinct oligodendrocyte lineage cell interacting with dorsal root ganglia sensory neurons during development and shows its role in sensory behavior.

The paper develops a CNN-based denoising method for mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise in fluorescence microscopy images, achieving real-time performance and superior SNR improvement.

This paper introduces instant FLIM, a real-time fluorescence lifetime imaging method, and demonstrates its application in long-term in vivo brain imaging in zebrafish and mice.

The paper identifies actin assembly and non-muscle myosin activity as drivers of dendrite retraction in a UNC-6/Netrin-dependent self-avoidance response in C. elegans.
