Research has revealed the neurotoxic mechanism of nicotine at environmentally relevant concentrations in zebrafish embryos. By integrating computational predictions with multi-omics experimental ...

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

A positive newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is currently considered a medical emergency. Without early treatment, severe disability or death in infancy are likely. However, research ...

Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

This white sphere on a background of forest green is the eye of an embryonic zebrafish. The eye of an adult zebrafish is about 2.3 millimeters across, or roughly nine times smaller than your thumbnail ...

Can a single protein-encoding gene determine whether a vertebrate embryo develops normally? Yes, according to Osaka Metropolitan University researchers, who found that suppression of Pcdh8 is ...
