Zebrafish have emerged as a vital vertebrate model system that bridges developmental biology and behavioural neuroscience. Their genetic tractability, optical transparency during early development and ...

Using zebrafish "Avatars", an animal model developed by the Cancer Development and Innate Immune Evasion lab at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), led by Rita Fior, Mayra Martínez-López – a former PhD ...

Nager syndrome (NS) is an extremely rare disease that causes developmental problems and anomalies in facial bone structures and limbs. While the causative gene is known, its underlying mechanisms ...

Given that the developmental processes of zebrafish facial structure is similar to human, they can be leveraged as a low-cost and readily available animal model for exploring the underlying molecular ...

How does the brain process the complex flood of visual inputs? A new study at the University of Konstanz on larval zebrafish gives answers, combining behavioural experiments, advanced brain imaging ...

Gabrielle Dubansky does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

When scientific acronyms no longer need to mean anything at all, you get ZFIN (for Zebrafish Model Organism Database?). No, no, I kid—ZFIN stands for ZebraFish Information Network, and for that I ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

MicroRNA-184 (miR-184) mutations have been previously tied to inherited anterior segment dysgenesis, potentially causing cataracts and keratoconus. To elucidate the involvement of miR-184 in ocular ...

The zebrafish is a widely-used model organism. In this week’s podcast, Brant Weinstein, Ph.D., a senior investigator at the NIH, explains in detail what makes zebrafish so useful in life science ...
