The paper investigates how optic nerve innervation affects Wnt/b-catenin pathway activity and progenitor cell proliferation in zebrafish optic tectum, showing that innervation promotes survival and proliferation even in darkness.

This study evaluates a Zika virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine in rhesus macaques, showing it reduces early pregnancy loss caused by a highly pathogenic ZIKV strain.

The paper shows that mutant cells with cell cycle defects either die or differentiate in wild-type environments, while hyperproliferative cells form tumor-like structures and resist differentiation.
