INTRODUCTION Organisms live by means of the complex, dynamic, three-dimensional (3D)
interplay between millions of components, from the molecular to the multicellular. Visualizing …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is currently in vogue as a prevalently used experimental model for
studies concerning neurobehavioural disorders and associated fields. Since the 1960s, this …

A regular heartbeat is essential to vertebrate life. In the mature heart, this function is driven
by an anatomically localized pacemaker. By contrast, pacemaking capability is broadly …

How tissues acquire complex shapes is a fundamental question in biology and regenerative
medicine. Zebrafish semicircular canals form from invaginations in the otic epithelium (buds) …

Mechanical forces between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) influence cell shape and
function. Tendons are ECM-rich tissues connecting muscles with bones that bear extreme …

Membrane remodeling is an essential part of transferring components to and from the cell
surface and membrane-bound organelles and for changes in cell shape, which are …

The inner ear is a remarkably intricate structure able to detect sound, motion, and gravity.
During development of the zebrafish embryo, the ear undergoes dynamic morphogenesis …

Cadmium (Cd) is a worldwide environmental pollutant that postures serious threats to
humans and ecosystems. Over the years, its adverse effects on the central nervous system …

The notochord, a conserved axial structure required for embryonic axis elongation and spine
development, consists of giant vacuolated cells surrounded by an epithelial sheath [1–3] …

Most tumours are thought to arise through oncogenic cell generation followed by additional
mutations. How a new oncogenic cell primes tumorigenesis by acquiring additional …
