Research focusing on zebrafish embryonic development has underscored the critical function of keratin in cell movement. Without this protein, cells struggle to move cohesively.

Keratin, known for its presence in resilient structures like hair and nails, provides zebrafish cells with the necessary strength for coordinated movement.

The findings from this study, published on May 21, 2026, could have broader implications for our understanding of developmental biology and cell dynamics.
