3D niche topology imposes a spatially biased random stem cell loss, which is differentially fine-tuned in neural retina and retinal pigmented epithelium to regulate growth, shape, and cellular topology.
The Hippo pathway downstream effector YAP regulates S-phase progression to protect neural stem cells of the retina from experiencing genomic instability.

The lens-averted domains of the optic vesicle are reservoirs of neuroretinal cells that flow into the developing optic cup in a process that is critically influenced by BMP signaling.

Interacting MKS1 and UBE2E1 regulate canonical Wnt signaling through modulation of beta-catenin levels at the base of primary cilium, providing new insights into ciliopathy disease mechanisms.
Single-cell transcriptome analysis of the regenerating retina in adult zebrafish reveals molecular control steps during Müller glia stem cell activation, progressive differentiation, and neural regeneration.
Primary cilia on endothelial cells are required for VEGF-A/ VEGFR2-dependent signaling, islet vascularization and, consequently, nutrient delivery and insulin disposal.

CCDC146 is a structural component of the flagellum in sperm, located in the doublet microtubules of the axoneme, whose absence leads to multiple morphological anomalies of the flagellum.
Soluble fragments cleaved from the N-terminus of PC-1 activate the PC-1/PC-2 heteromeric polycystin channel, describing for the first time that the N-terminus itself is an endogenous ligand.

At optimal concentrations, the ciliary inhibitor Cp110 promotes ciliogenesis by localization to previously uncharacterized sites at the basal body, where it recruits ciliary adhesion complexes that mediate basal body interaction with F-actin networks.

Zebrafish have a physiological time-window of 1 hr for breaking left-right symmetry and are highly sensitive to the left-right organizer anterior fluid mechanics rather than to the nature of its fluid content.
