Breathtaking... These are fish gills!

Reminds me of something that you'd find on a #coralreef... Sea pens?

Stunning 👏

A developmental atlas of zebrafish gills links early vascular patterning to adult architecture Summary: An atlas of zebrafish gill vasculature reveals developmental asymmetries and shows how early vascular patterning shapes filaments and lamellae and is reflected in adult gill architecture.

Amazing paper with gorgeous imaging 🔥

Congrats Arthur!!!

Vgll4 Proteins limit Organ Size in Zebrafish through Yap1-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms Precise control of organ size is crucial during development and homeostasis. Dysregulation of the underlying mechanisms can result in organ malformation and tumorigenesis. Although the Hippo signaling...

New preprint from the Lecaudey lab by first authors Anna Mertens and Nicola Moratscheck, with the help of other former members including @chaitanyadingare.bsky.social uncovering the role of integrin-laminin interactions during epithelial collective cell migration!

Thanks Shawn @burgesslab.bsky.social! Very helpful :-)

FINALLY out in #Science Advances! 🎉
3 years of hard work, a fantastic team — and I’m proud to be first and co-corresponding author!

It's about Plexin signaling driving collective cell migration & organ sculpting. Check out the videos 😀

Thanks @maikbischoff.bsky.social. Good idea, maybe we will 😉

If you’ve ever wondered how those intricate gill structures emerge—and how gills develop throughout a zebrafish’s lifespan—check out my new preprint!
We dive into the development of gills and their vasculature in detail.
Huge thanks to @vlecaudey.bsky.social for the support🐟

Thrilled that my blog post was the most-read hit on the Node for the month of May ☺️ It acts as an intro to the amazing tools that are (freely) available to #zebrafish researchers. Do check it out if you haven’t yet.

New preprint from the lab! Beautiful work by @mathpreu.bsky.social, who delved into the early development of gills and their intricate vasculature. Thanks to the Clusterproject ENABLE and @goetheuni.bsky.social for the funding! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks Ali!!

Thank you @mads100tist.bsky.social 🤗!!

New preprint from the lab!! Project was initiated by @chaitanyadingare.bsky.social and continued by Alicia Lardennois with quite some people involved on the way 🤗

Thanks @zebrafishrock.bsky.social! Faster than me 😉. New preprint from the Lecaudey lab!

“We propose a model in which Yap1, together with Tead proteins, ensures that the [posterior lateral line primordium] contains a sufficient number of cells before migration begins.”
