Zebrafish fins consist of a skin that is stabilized by a skeleton of bony fin rays; similar to an umbrella that is supported by metallic stretchers.

ranging from the facial skeleton to the nervous system. Disruption of neural crest cells during development leads to heart ...

UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers identified a gene circuit in zebrafish that allows heart regeneration after injury. Using ...

The skeleton, tendons, and glands of a functional jaw all derive from the same population of stem cells, which arise from a cell population known as neural crest. To discover how these neural ...

“In zebrafish, we think severed neurons can overcome the stress of injury because their flexibility helps them establish new local connections immediately after injury.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A team of scientists will study if zebrafish, a popular aquarium fish whose genetic and physiological makeup is similar to humans, could unlock new treatments for kidney stones and ...

Zebrafish, photographed with a confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons ...

The NIH zebrafish image, which was taken to understand lymphatic vessel development in the brain, merges 350 individual images to reveal a juvenile zebrafish with a fluorescently tagged skeleton ...

University of Oregon scientists have uncovered new clues to the genetic basis for scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine.

A group of scientists, which included researchers from the Ural Federal University (UrFU), has developed and successfully tested a new model of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in zebrafish. The use ...

Zebrafish eggs are among the most commonly used model organisms in genetic, developmental and toxicology research. A device developed by EPFL spin-off Bionomous cuts the time it takes to sort ...

Researchers from the University of Bayreuth uncover mechanisms that allow bone-forming cells to regenerate a correctly shaped new fin skeleton.
