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 ...

“It’s an elegant example of ‘reverse evolutionary genetics.’” Kuwada’s team bred a diverse range of mutant zebrafish, then checked for embryos with obvious motor problems—an intensive process ...

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 ...

SHANGHAI -- In 2025, six zebrafish are set to journey to China's space station, assisting scientists in exploring how the space environment impacts the muscle and skeletal development of vertebrates.

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 ...

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 ...
