New research used the highly regenerative zebrafish to investigate the timing and genetic programs of macrophages, a type of white blood cell, in the repair and regeneration of a zebrafish sensory ...

Philadelphia, September 20, 2023 – Zebrafish have revolutionized research into a wide variety of rare and complex genetic diseases. In early development stages, their transparent bodies allow ...

According to Stanford Medicine, microplastics and their smaller counterparts, nanoplastics, are everywhere - from our food to our water to our clothes and even the air we breathe. While research ...

Scientists uncover how zebrafish switch between cell division and direct differentiation to rebuild sensory organs, challenging long-held views on tissue regeneration. Study: Stem and progenitor cell ...

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and balance. New research reveals two specific genes that control how different ...

One of the strangest things about amphibians is that many species can re-grow limbs and tails, and even repair their own spinal cord if injured. Cruel children the world over know that you can chop ...

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely used vertebrate animal for modeling genetic diseases by targeted editing strategies followed by gross phenotypic and biomarker characterization. While larval ...

Preclinical drug evaluation, especially for cardiotoxicity, is a critical stage in the drug development process. Traditional methods, often relying on in vitro assays or manual manipulation of animal ...

KANSAS CITY, MO—September 20, 2022—How the immune system responds to injury in many organs and tissues allows and enables their repair and regeneration. Yet for some species like humans, damage to ...
