The paper shows that transient shha overexpression during zebrafish embryogenesis alters adult caudal fin shape, demonstrating that developmental cues can permanently modify positional memory of fin rays.

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

This study identifies two epidermal transcriptomes and a transient dermal niche in eccrine gland development using single nucleus transcriptomics in mice.

The paper investigates the role of thyroid hormone in developmental trajectories and paedomorphosis in Danionella and zebrafish, finding TH regulates growth patterns but not paedomorphosis.
