The paper shows zebrafish lack canonical necroptosis due to absence of MLKL, despite functional RIPK3, and demonstrates viability of Caspase-8-deficient zebrafish without necroptosis.

The paper develops an automated image processing tool to quantify bacterial burdens in zebrafish larvae by detecting their borders to distinguish internal from external bacteria.

The paper investigates how RhoA signaling pulses drive collective cell migration in zebrafish by stimulating actin polymerization and flow in protrusions.

The paper identifies how the zebrafish posterior lateral line primordium generates forward motion by exerting high stresses at its rear through actin flow coupled to the basement membrane via integrins.

The paper describes a method to generate endogenously tagged zebrafish knock-in lines by inserting fluorescent markers into non-coding regions of genes.

This paper introduces zGrad, a nanobody-based degron system for inducible and reversible protein inactivation in zebrafish, demonstrating its utility in studying protein function across different spatial and temporal contexts.
