SHANGHAI -- In 2025, six zebrafish are set to journey to China's space station, assisting scientists in exploring how the ...

Four zebrafish spent 43 days in orbit aboard the Tiangong space station, breaking records and advancing space biology. In ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells: they have a regenerative capacity. When a zebrafish heart is damaged, it can fully restore its function within 60 days. "We don't understand ...

Unlike humans, zebrafish grow new heart muscle cells and can fully restore the function of a damaged heart within 60 days. It’s a mechanism that’s not fully understood but by “studying ...

The zebrafish, a commonly used model organism, exhibits a growth pattern that closely mirrors what is seen in human muscle growth, where muscle growth is accomplished post-birth/hatch with little to ...

We are currently characterizing several histone modifier and RNA-splicing proteins that may affect muscle formation and maintenance in our vertebrate animal models. Generation, characterization, and ...

After China's first "space fish farming" experiment yielded fruitful results, the "fish astronauts" are expected to embark on ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide a substrate for ...
