This study shows that NEDD4 in neural crest cells regulates HA synthesis in cardiac outflow tract valves, affecting valve development and ECM composition.

The paper identifies DKK1 from neural crest cells as a regulator of Wnt signaling in the second heart field, crucial for cardiac outflow tract development and linked to congenital heart disease.

This study identifies NEDD4's role in promoting Sertoli cell proliferation and adult Leydig cell differentiation in murine testis development through PI3K-AKT signaling and steroidogenesis.

This study shows that motor nerves guide the development of sympathetic ganglia by directing the migration and differentiation of neural crest-derived sympathoblasts.

This study identifies Cachd1 as a novel Wnt receptor-interacting protein essential for left-right neuronal asymmetry in zebrafish.

The paper uses transcriptome analysis to identify genes involved in Notch-dependent roof plate formation and shows Notch signaling is critical for RP development and fate determination.

This study shows that the GINS complex is essential for DNA replication in rapidly dividing retinal and tectal progenitor cells in zebrafish, leading to apoptosis in these cells when GINS function is absent.

The paper shows that Tcf7l1a is essential for eye field specification in zebrafish but not for eye development, as mutants develop normal eyes through compensatory mechanisms.
