Nearly half of the transcriptome is altered when endothelial cells transition in vitro, expression patterns for some genes are regained by exposing cells to shear stress and others through exposure to smooth muscle cells.

Local coordination between shear and hydrostatic stress regulates valve shape and size.

Genetic and chemical genetic analysis pinpoint defective epithelial cells as the driver for NPHP like phenotypes in Invs mutants, demonstrate genetic interaction between Invs and Ift88 and identify the HDAC inhibitor valproic acid as a suppressor for Invs mutant phenotypes.

Purkinje cell-specific ablation demonstrates regeneration of these neurons and functional recovery of the cerebellum during both larval and adult zebrafish.

Statistical analysis of morphogen gradients indicates that non-linear morphogen decay does not lead to significantly increased patterning precision, and in fact, the opposite is observed far from the source.

Zebrafish pigment cell progenitors are a heterogeneous class of adult tissue-resident cells which reiterate developmental signaling during melanocyte regeneration.

Tie1 is a binding partner for Svep1 in zebrafish and humans, and both genes (but not Tie2) are required during zebrafish lymphangiogenesis especially for the facial lymphatics, which in part develop independent of Vegfc.

Using fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), maturational changes in tissue microstructure can be derived using diffusion MRI which provide new insight into the fundamental neurobiological transitions occurring within the emerging thalamocortical white matter pathways.

Gut microbiota reshaped by myostatin gene variation has a positive effect on skeletal muscle growth by activating GPR43 through valeric acid, as a metabolite of gut microbiota.

The levels of the cytokine BAFF increase across senescence paradigms, in turn triggering a secretory phenotype in some senescent cells and activating p53 in other senescent cells.
