This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

Luo et al. show in zebrafish and mouse that, upon intrahepatic biliary duct damage, gallbladder smooth muscle cells migrate to the common hepatic duct, where they produce retinoic acid to promote ...

Voluntary muscles, also known as skeletal muscles, are muscles that can be consciously controlled, such as the muscles of your limbs, head, neck, and body. They are attached to bones and respond to ...

However, nowadays lateralization is known to occur among all vertebrates, from primates to fish. Fish, especially zebrafish (Danio rerio), have emerged as a crucial model for exploring the evolution ...

The paper presents a streamlined new approach for functional validation of genes known to underlie fragile bone disorders in a relatively high throughput, using CRISPR-mediated knockouts and a number ...

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.

Just like the proteins in our muscles, which convert chemical energy into power to allow us to perform daily tasks, these tiny rotary motors use chemical energy to generate force, store energy ...

Some types of muscular dystrophy typically affect only males; some people with MD enjoy a normal life span with mild symptoms that progress very slowly; others experience swift and severe muscle ...
