This paper introduces a new clearing reagent, LUCID, enabling high-resolution 3D imaging of whole zebrafish, including dense tissues like bone and cartilage, without significant distortion or signal loss.

The paper introduces an EpiTag zebrafish transgenic reporter to visualize epigenetic silencing/activation and identifies tissue-specific epigenetic regulatory genes through mutagenesis screening.

The paper uses a novel transgenic reporter to study epigenetic reprogramming during zebrafish fin regeneration, identifying early chromatin remodeling events and key factors required for regeneration.

The paper identifies a new external immune organ in zebrafish, the axillary lymphoid organ, suitable for live imaging of immune cell dynamics.
