Yet, following this humble beginning, why has the zebrafish developed into one of the most popular model organisms for research? The pretty stripes have nothing to do with it. Instead, a combination ...

We are a group of Purdue faculty using zebrafish in our research. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling, drug discovery, immunology, ...

Designing, production and maintenance of transgenic zebrafish lines Experimental design Genotyping Microinjections Xenografts for in vivo cancer studies Live imaging of behavior and organ functions ...

We study the chemical and physical mechanisms by which intact tissues detect wounds to initiate healing, inflammation, regeneration, and cancer. We address these mechanisms by quantitative imaging in ...

Our group employed a zebrafish model to unfold the pathogenesis of this ... He further explains, "Unlike cancer or diabetes, ...

Because embryos are transparent and develop outside the mother’s body, scientists can manipulate genes to model ... So far zebrafish studies have yielded insights into cancer, diabetes, muscle ...

Zebrafish, with their transparent bodies, rapid development, and genetic similarities to humans, are emerging as a powerful model for high-throughput screening. However, the existing phenotyping ...

We model wound healing in several genetically tractable model organisms from the fruit fly, Drosophila, through to zebrafish and mice, with the ultimate goal of uncovering ... Recently we have become ...

This deserves particular attention because in recent years, several studies have concluded that serious disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer ... zebrafish is a popular ...
