Enteric nervous system (ENS) which is derived from neural crest is essential for gut function and its deficiency causes severe congenital diseases. Since capacity of ENS regeneration in mammals is limited, additional complimentary models would be ...

BACKGROUND: The enteric nervous system (ENS) is derived from enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) that migrate into the gut. The zebrafish larva is a good model to study ENCC development due to its simplicity and transparency. However, little is kno...
The lateral line system is a mechanosensory systems present in aquatic animals. The anterior and posterior lateral lines develop from anterior and posterior lateral line placodes (aLLp and pLLp), respectively. Although signaling molecules required...

The zebrafish Posterior Lateral Line primordium (PLLp) has emerged as an important model system for studying many aspects of development, including cell migration, cell type specification and tissue morphogenesis. Despite this, basic aspects of PL...
Somites are fundamental structures within the paraxial mesoderm of the vertebrate embryo that give rise to the vertebrae and muscle of the trunk and tail. Studies of knockout mice and gene expression analyses have shown that the Notch pathway is c...
