New preprint! Another piece from @gaparicio.bsky.social thesis, now exploring the role of PALS1 (aka Nok, or MPP5) in lamination and photoreceptor progenitors positioning in the developing zebrafish retina and retinal organoids: tinyurl.com/yya754tf
tinyurl.com
Reduction of PALS1/Nok disrupts retinal lamination through altered cell positioning while preserving photoreceptor self-organization capacity
The vertebrate neural retina is composed of several neuronal types that precisely organize into layers, with photoreceptors facing the outer surface and the projection neurons, retinal ganglion cells,...

Do you work with #zebrafish? Wanting a budget-friendly housing system capable of thermal control and filtration? Perhaps you just set up your lab and are looking for a short term solution? Then ZebRack designed by the Valdivia lab might pique of your interest? Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...
Fig. 1. The ZebRack housing system. (A) Frontal view of the ZebRack setup at the Universidad Mayor fish facility. With a capacity for 15 Aquaneering 2.8 L tanks, its lightweight and compact frame can house up to 225 adult zebrafish (at a maximum of 15 fish per tank). (B) Rear view of the ZebRack, illustrating the water flow system designed in OnShape. Blue arrows indicate water flow from the reservoir to the fish tanks. Drainage water then flows back to the reservoir (yellow arrows), where it passes through an external filter for cleaning before being recirculated.Fig. 2. Water reservoir and external filter (view from above). A submersible pump transports water from the reservoir up to the fish tanks. Drainage water then returns to the reservoir, where it is purified by the external filter. This filter, connected to the reservoir, features its own UV light, prefilter pads, activated charcoal, and ceramic bio-rings to maintain water quality.Fig. 3. ZebRack setup at the 2025 International Developmental Biology course. (A) The ZebRack system during a course in Quintay. The two upper levels were used for fish tanks, while the lower level was dedicated to breeding boxes. The entire apparatus was housed within a portable indoor culture tent alongside a portable AC unit. The tent was fully closed at night to ensure temperature stability. (B) A close-up view of the interior of the indoor tent.
