Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

In multicellular organisms, effective cell-to-cell communication is crucial to enable orderly development from a single fertilized egg to a complex adult body. Cells communicate by sending each other ...

With weMERFISH, the MERFISHEYES atlas and the integration of live imaging, researchers now have a new tool at their disposal.

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

A cross-department collaboration headed by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University has witnessed the moment at which cells in the zebrafish embryo heart start beating in unison ...

A researcher at the University of Cincinnati is working to better understand infertility in humans with the help of thousands of tiny fish who share 70% of their genes with humans.

Zebrafish eggs contain a sunscreen called gadusol that protects the growing embryo from harmful rays. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are damaging. To shield against this, vertebrates produce a ...

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...
