Zebrafish have emerged as a pivotal vertebrate model for studying kidney development, owing to the high genetic and morphological conservation with mammalian systems. The process of nephrogenesis in ...

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 ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Some substances in medicines, household items and the environment are known to affect prenatal child development. In a study published in Toxicological Sciences, researchers tested the effects of five ...

Atrazine is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the United States and is frequently found in freshwater ecosystems due to agricultural runoff. Atrazine is one of the most commonly used ...

Gabby Voit at UWM studies zebrafish embryonic development to gain insights into human brain development and genetic mutations related to fertility issues. Her research could help understand ...

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 ...
