Molecular basis of cell migration in the fish lateral line: role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and of its ligand, SDF1. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 99:2002;16297-16302 The authors demonstrate the role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand SDF1 in the migratory process that mediates the formation of the posterior lateral line system in the zebrafish embryo. They show that the receptor is expressed by the migrating cells, that the ligand is expressed by the pathway cells, and that the inactivation of either gene prevents migration.

Cell. 111:2002;647-659 The authors provide evidence that the presence of the CXCR4 receptor on the primordial germ cells of the zebrafish is required for their directional migration towards the presumptive gonads. They also show that alterations of the migratory pathway correlate with alterations in the expression of SDF1 in various mutant conditions, thereby, elucidating the mechanism of this classical example of long-range, precisely controlled cell migration event.

Development. 129:2002;597-604 This study reports a complete description of the post-embryonic growth of the posterior lateral line in the zebrafish, and shows that three processes are at work: a progressive completion of the embryonic line by additional waves of neuromast formation, a dorso-ventral migration of differentiated nueuromasts and a budding process that transforms each organ in a 'stitch', a cluster of closely apposed organs.

Development. 129:2002;605-615 The authors demonstrate the presence of an additional primordium that migrates and forms new neuromasts during larval life, indicative of a reiteration of the embryonic process. They also show that differentiated neuromasts can migrate through the epidermis. The data indicate that modulations of these two processes are largely responsible for the large variety in lateral line patterns across fish species.

Morphol. 254:2002;81-91 Despite being closest to the primitive teleosts, eels have been refractory to developmental studies, due to their peculiar breeding behaviour. This paper reports a method to generate eel embryos, and gives a first account of how their lateral line develops.

Biol. 251:2002;45-58 The authors report that the expression of neurogenin-1 delineates the lateral line (and other cranial) placodes, and prefigures the expression of another bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) factor, NeuroD. They also show that the inactivation of neurogenin-1 prevents the formation of the sensory neurons, but does not affect the associated glial cells or the neuromasts.

Neuron. 34:2002;577-588 This paper demonstrates that the glial cells that ensheath the peripheral axons of the lateral line sensory neurons are guided along the growing axons, and will follow them along ectopic courses in mutant conditions. Thus, glial cells are dispensable for axon elongation, but they are required to maintain proper fasciculation of the lateral line nerve.

The authors show that the choice of a particular fascicle depends on the same mechanism that earlier led to the establishment of this fascicle at this position.
