This study identifies miR-9-2 as a regulator of retinal progenitor cell competence and Müller glial identity, showing its role in timing cell specification and disease risk.

The paper shows that deleting miR-9-2 causes cerebral hemorrhage and hydrocephalus by disrupting cell-type-specific gene networks in neurodevelopment.

This paper shows that wnt16 regulates spine and muscle morphogenesis in zebrafish through signals from notochord and dermomyotome, explaining its dual role in bone and muscle traits.
