The extracellular matrix plays critical roles in orchestrating cell communication and behaviors in response to various extracellular signals. It is...

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is an axon guidance molecule that can act as either a chemorepellent or a chemoattractant, depending on the neuron type and their developmental stage. In the developing spinal cor...

Highlighted Article: An inducible Cas3*/Cas7* sensor demonstrates that non-apoptotic caspase events occur in zebrafish neural stem cells. In cooperation with the stress-induced transcription factor At...

We have identified an unexpected role for netrin1, a canonical axonal guidance cue, as a suppressor of bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling in t…

Korenkova, Liu, et al. demonstrate the presence of open-ended connections, known as tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), in live zebrafish embryos by showing that they facilitate material transfer between cell...
