Researchers are taking advantage of small, transparent zebrafish embryos and larvae—and a special strain of see-through adults—to understand the development and spread of cancer. From frogs to dogs ...

In previous studies of the transparent zebrafish, the researchers discovered a gene called mfsd2aa that, when mutated, caused the BBB to become leaky across the entire brain.

"Because zebrafish are transparent for the first 30 days of life, we can see in the living fish that the blood vessels glow green, while the fat deposits in vascular plaques are red," said Miller.
