      In the current manuscript, the authors study the effects of hypoxia or genetic and pharmacologic modulation of the hypoxic pathways on T cells. The findings about T cells sense hypoxia and how hypoxia affects T cell (and CAR T cell) differentiation and function are significant and interesting for the field. The data supporting these findings are mostly robust, yet some questions remain open and some statements seem unsupported by evidence.

      The study has advanced our mechanistic understanding of lung regeneration. While the importance of regeneration of alveolar capillaries for long response to injury has been long recognized, the regulation of this process has not been well understood. Your study provides novel, comprehensive, and compelling evidence that the expression of the transcription factor Atf3 in alveolar capillary endothelial cells plays a critical role in the regeneration of alveolar capillaries following lung injury.

      Müller glial cells of the zebrafish retina can differentiate into all neural cell classes following injury, providing full regenerative capabilities of the zebrafish retina. This valuable study presents a description of transcriptional changes of Müller glia cells in the adult and regenerating retina using single-cell RNA sequencing. The overall evidence supporting the main claims of the authors is solid.

      This valuable work advances our understanding of the acoustic features driving the attraction of female mice to male vocalizations. The evidence supporting the conclusions is solid, with well-designed place preference assays and manipulations of male song structure. The work will be of broad interest to neurobiologists and ethologists working on mouse social interactions, auditory processing and communication.

      Within this paper, the authors describe a rapid and easy-to-implement CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in approach to precisely insert large transgenes in the African turquoise killifish. The established method will be instrumental for many researchers working with unusual model species, and, in particular, will expand the killifish community toolbox. It will revolutionize the field and bring the killifish, an emerging animal model in aging biology and disease modeling in vertebrates, into the spotlight even more.
