Zebrafish are unassuming and undemanding. Almost every child knows that – at least any child that has kept fish in an aquarium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, these fish have been one of the ...

As a vertebrate, the zebrafish possesses many genes that perform the same or similar functions in mammals and therefore also in humans. Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in ...

The team's idea was that immune cells, and in particular macrophages resident in the bladder, were involved. They were able ...

Here they provide an in-depth analysis of cardiomyocyte protrusion during zebrafish cardiac regeneration and highlight the role of macrophages and Mmp14b in ECM remodeling to support replacement ...

For the first time, we have used protocells to specifically deliver ‘reprogramming’ cargoes (in this case, anti-miR223) to zebrafish macrophages (and neutrophils) because these immune cells are ...

1 To investigate the effects of polystyrene nanoparticles in zebrafish, the researchers exposed fully hatched zebrafish, at 72 hours post-fertilization, to polystyrene nanoparticle solutions. The ...

The Zebrafish Genetic and Phenotyping Core provides expertise and equipment to support your experiments with zebrafish as an in vivo model. The Core can generate zebrafish with mutations in specific ...

Researchers have identified secretoneurin, a neuropeptide derived from the secretogranin-2 protein, as a critical hormone that stimulates ovulation in zebrafish. This finding has significant ...

Doha, Qatar: Sidra Medicine and Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, have published a groundbreaking study marking the first creation of an autism zebrafish ...

When bacteria cause tissue damage, the macrophages tend to flock to the ... gut contractions are beneficial for the host, whether zebrafish or human, since gut flushing is a swift way to remove ...
