Since the experiment began in 2022, scientists have overcome challenges like pollination and grain filling in microgravity.

BEIJING, March 23 (Xinhua) -- China's space station is set to introduce a novel participant in its space science experiments ...

Disease genes are usually discovered in humans and then studied in animal models, but this study did the opposite. “It’s an elegant example of ‘reverse evolutionary genetics.’” Kuwada’s team bred a ...

Researchers have been employing zebrafish to investigate the impact of microgravity on vertebrate muscle and bone proteins, while also conducting fruit fly experiments to understand their growth ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Chinese space station will soon welcome a new life form - planaria -known for their regenerative abilities, for ...

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 ...

China's space station is set to introduce a novel participant in its space science experiments — the planarian, a creature renowned for its extraordinary regenerative capabilities, China Media Group ...
