This study shows that spiny-ray development in fish is independent of actinotrichia, enabling morphological diversification through osteoblast distribution and signaling molecule intensity.

This study compares body shapes and histology across goldfish strains to show that similar globular shapes arise through different developmental pathways.

This study identifies a novel role for Hox13 in regulating newt hindlimb bud outgrowth by interacting with Fgf10 and Tbx4 during development.

This study traces the developmental origin of caudal fin muscles in zebrafish using lineage tracing, identifying unique muscle fiber origins in teleosts.

This study shows that Hedgehog signaling repression in teleosts reduces radial bones and promotes fin elaboration by affecting specific skeletal regions in zebrafish.

The paper examines muscle fiber distribution in twin-tail goldfish and finds similar patterns in related species, suggesting shared developmental mechanisms despite morphological differences.

This study shows that visual prey detection activates the hypothalamic feeding centre in zebrafish via a pretecto-hypothalamic pathway.
