Neuronal degeneration leading to visual impairment or blindness remains a critical challenge in human health. Unlike humans, ...

Yet, following this humble beginning, why has the zebrafish developed into one of the most popular model organisms for research? The pretty stripes have nothing to do with it. Instead, a combination ...

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, ...

The Zebrafish Genetic and Phenotyping Core provides expertise and equipment to support your experiments with zebrafish as an in vivo model. The Core can generate zebrafish with mutations in specific ...

Preclinical drug evaluation, especially for cardiotoxicity, is a critical stage in the drug development process.

In order to address these questions, his lab uses zebrafish as a model system. Why zebrafish? The zebrafish has recently become a favorite vertebrate model system to many researchers studying ...

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an essential model organism in biomedical research, favored due to its genetic similarity to ...

scientists can manipulate genes to model human diseases and directly observe disease changes in live animals—something not possible in another common lab animal, mice. Though mature zebrafish ...

New research shows that flame retardant polymers can break down into toxic chemicals, raising concerns about their ...

Larval zebrafish are an invaluable tool for neuroscientists ... being chased by something that does not initially look like a predator. To model this, the researchers used small robotic cylinders ...
