Growth patterns of caudal fin rays are informed by both external signals from the regenerating organ and remembered identity autonomous to the local tissue

The paper investigates how zebrafish caudal fin rays regenerate, showing that both external signals and intrinsic memory of positional identity influence regenerative growth and final size.

Thyroid hormone regulates proximodistal identity in the fin skeleton

This study shows thyroid hormone regulates proximodistal identity in fin rays, affecting gene expression, morphogenesis, and morphology across species and developmental stages.
