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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dr. Jason Berman looking at a zebrafish model on the computer screen. New research shows that pre-clinical zebrafish models are an effective tool to help guide clinical decision-making in real time ...

Zebrafish are members of a rarefied group of vertebrates capable of fully healing a severed spinal cord. Now, a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis using a zebrafish ...

With a tank of zebrafish, Queensland researcher Jean Giacomotto was able to test a never-before seen genetic variant ...

Aïcha Sow, a PhD student in virology and immunology at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), along with Professors Laurent Chatel-Chaix and Kessen Patten, developed a zebrafish model ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the opioid crisis escalates, the science behind addiction remains poorly understood. To address this need, researchers at University of Utah Health devised a system that allowed zebrafish, a small ...
