Using zebrafish "Avatars", an animal model developed by the Cancer Development and Innate Immune Evasion lab at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), led by Rita Fior, Mayra Martínez-López – a former PhD ...

Nager syndrome (NS) is an extremely rare disease that causes developmental problems and anomalies in facial bone structures and limbs. While the causative gene is known, its underlying mechanisms ...

Zebrafish have emerged as a vital vertebrate model system that bridges developmental biology and behavioural neuroscience. Their genetic tractability, optical transparency during early development and ...

Melatonin is a naturally produced molecule that has long been suspected to play a role in healthy sleep, but it has been ...

In recent decades, the zebrafish has become one of the most valuable model organisms in scientific research. For a variety of reasons, including their genetic similarities to humans, these tiny ...

The zebrafish is a widely-used model organism. In this week’s podcast, Brant Weinstein, Ph.D., a senior investigator at the NIH, explains in detail what makes zebrafish so useful in life science ...

A researcher at the University of Cincinnati is working to better understand infertility in humans with the help of thousands ...

When scientific acronyms no longer need to mean anything at all, you get ZFIN (for Zebrafish Model Organism Database?). No, no, I kid—ZFIN stands for ZebraFish Information Network, and for that I ...

Given that the developmental processes of zebrafish facial structure is similar to human, they can be leveraged as a low-cost and readily available animal model for exploring the underlying molecular ...
