Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on aging, according to new research.

Zebrafish lacking a functional muscle clock showed signs of premature aging at two years. They were shorter, weighed less, swam less frequently and at slower speeds.

This glacial blue, gold, and red tapestry is a cross section through the junction between the head and the abdomen of a zebrafish. Here we can see the muscles, veins, and surrounding tissue within the ...

A new study from King’s College London suggests that shift work may speed up muscle aging by disrupting the body’s natural ...

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh are using the small minnow fish to study how MS damages the protective coating ...

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 ...

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 ...
