Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the ...
Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...
The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...
Stress, the body's natural response to different types of challenges and daily problems, is an inherently harmless state ...
Researchers have revealed some of the precise mechanisms by which erroneous cells are recognized, marked for removal, and eliminated via apoptosis in developing zebrafish. Notably, they found that the ...
Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...
A microscopy image created by National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers appears on one of the 20 new Life Magnified stamps issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The NIH zebrafish ...
Artistic representation of heart regeneration: Hmga1 in green symbolically flows from the border zone of a zebrafish heart (top right) to the injured border zone of a mouse heart (left). Red ...
