The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

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.

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 ...

Zebrafish have emerged as a pivotal vertebrate model for studying kidney development, owing to the high genetic and morphological conservation with mammalian systems. The process of nephrogenesis in ...

Professor Bruce Draper uses zebrafish as a model to study development. Work from his lab in the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences shows how certain genes are linked to sex change in fish and ...

Researchers have shown that zebrafish can provide genetic baz1b clues to the evolution of social behaviors in humans and domesticated species. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown ...

Zebrafish embryos and early larvae are becoming increasingly important as models in biomedical research because of their low cost, high throughput and potential as a replacement for adult, higher ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered that the heart’s own contractions trigger biological signals that guide the formation of a functional beating heart. Their study in zebrafish ...

Using zebrafish in an environment designed to remove the effect of gravity, Dr. Stephen Moorman’s NASA-sponsored research has shown that a time period exists during which the vestibular system must ...
