    Eye morphogenesis driven by epithelial flow into the optic cup facilitated by modulation of bone morphogenetic protein

    Stephan Heermann, Lucas Schütz ... Joachim Wittbrodt
    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.

    Stretching of the retinal pigment epithelium contributes to zebrafish optic cup morphogenesis

    Tania Moreno-Mármol, Mario Ledesma-Terrón ... Paola Bovolenta
    Retinal pigment epithelium flattening is an efficient solution adopted by the fast-developing zebrafish to enable folding of the eye primordia, which contrasts with the proliferation-based mechanism used by amniotes.

    Lhx2 is a progenitor-intrinsic modulator of Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis

    Xiaodong Li, Patrick J Gordon ... Edward M Levine
    The LIM-homedomain transcription factor Lhx2 confers competence to retinal progenitor cells to activate and maintain Sonic Hedgeghog signaling at physiological levels during a key phase of tissue growth and cell type generation.

    Compensatory growth renders Tcf7l1a dispensable for eye formation despite its requirement in eye field specification

    Rodrigo M Young, Thomas A Hawkins ... Stephen W Wilson
    Disruptions to eye field size have little impact on final eye size due to tissue compensatory mechanisms.

    Fish primary embryonic pluripotent cells assemble into retinal tissue mirroring in vivo early eye development

    Lucie Zilova, Venera Weinhardt ... Joachim Wittbrodt
    Fish-derived pluripotent cells instinctively form retinal tissue recapitulating key steps of early eye development.

    Self-formation of concentric zones of telencephalic and ocular tissues and directional retinal ganglion cell axons

    Wei Liu, Rupendra Shrestha ... Ludovic Spaeth
    Organoids are useful in studying guidance cues for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon generation and regeneration, and the method of RGC isolation via CNTN2 facilitates investigating RGC-related retinal diseases such as glaucoma.

    Microglial trogocytosis and the complement system regulate axonal pruning in vivo

    Tony KY Lim, Edward S Ruthazer
    In vivo time lapse imaging reveals that microglial trogocytosis of presynaptic elements is regulated by the complement system which controls axon morphogenesis in the developing brain.

    Concerted action of neuroepithelial basal shrinkage and active epithelial migration ensures efficient optic cup morphogenesis

    Jaydeep Sidhaye, Caren Norden
    Cellular and tissue level analysis reveals how different cell behaviors involving dynamics of the basal domain cooperate in space and time to shape an epithelial organ.

    PI(3,5)P2 biosynthesis regulates oligodendrocyte differentiation by intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms

    Yevgeniya A Mironova, Guy M Lenk ... Roman J Giger
    The signaling lipid PI(3,5)P2 supports the formation of the myelin sheath, by regulating trafficking of myelin building blocks within oligodendrocytes and communication between oligodendrocytes and neuronal axons.

    OTX2 represses sister cell fate choices in the developing retina to promote photoreceptor specification

    Miruna Georgiana Ghinia Tegla, Diego F Buenaventura ... Mark M Emerson
    A retinal gene regulatory network prevents the formation of alternative cell fates from non-stochastic retinal progenitor cells.
