Consequences of Cancer on Zebrafish Danio rerio: Insights into Sex Determination, Sex Ratio, and Offspring Survival.

J. Boutry, M. Douhard, K. Asselin, A. M. Dujon, J. Meliani, O. De Backer, D. Nicolas, A. G. Shultz, P. A. Biro, C. Beckmann, L. Fontenille, K. Kissa, B. Ujvari, F. Thomas

This study investigates whether cancer in zebrafish affects offspring sex ratio and survival, finding no effect on sex ratio but higher offspring survival from cancerous females.

Melanoma innervation is associated with cancer progression in a zebrafish xenograft model

F. LORENZINI, J. MARINES, J. Le FRIEC, N. DO KHOA, M. A. NIETO, B. SANCHEZ-LAORDEN, M. MIONE, L. FONTENILLE, K. KISSA

This paper shows that melanoma progression in zebrafish is linked to nerve growth and catecholamine signaling, suggesting new therapeutic targets.

Investigating pathogenicity and virulence of Staphylococcus pettenkoferi: an emerging pathogen

L. Plumet, N. Ahmad-Mansour, S. Huc-Brandt, C. Magnan, A. Yahiaoui-Martinez, K. Kissa, A. Pantel, J.-P. Lavigne, V. Molle

This study compares the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus pettenkoferi to Staphylococcus aureus using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo assays, revealing its ability to survive in human cells and cause zebrafish embryo mortality.

Modelling 3D tumour microenvironment in vivo: a tool to predict cancer fate

J. Marines, F. Lorenzini, k. kissa, L. FONTENILLE

The paper presents a 3D modeling tool to visualize tumour microenvironment dynamics in zebrafish embryos and predict cancer fate in patient-derived xenografts.

Macrophage plasticity is Rac signalling and MMP9 dependant

J. TRAVNICKOVA, S. Nhim, N. ABDELLAOUI, F. DJOUAD, M. NGUYEN-CHI, A. PARMEGGIANI, K. KISSA

This study shows macrophages adapt their migratory shapes in zebrafish embryos, and this plasticity depends on Rac signalling and MMP9, which are crucial for ECM degradation and HSPC mobilisation.
