Discovery and characterisation of gene by environment and epistatic genetic effects in a vertebrate model Phenotypic variation arises from the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. However, disentangling these interactions for complex traits remains challenging in observational cohorts such...

Immune surveillance and pruning of neuronal stem cells in the medaka retina Stem cell populations in tissues require precise regulation of their number and quality to maintain proper organ growth and regenerative capacity. Amongst various regulatory mechanisms, immune cells a...

Our study reveals how microglia prune retinal stem cells in medaka fish and provides novel insights into the chemokine signaling involved.
If you are excited about the emerging field of immune-stem cell interactions, do check this preprint!
