So University of Utah biologists, led by assistant professor Jamie Gagnon, tackled the problem by comparing two fish species: zebrafish, which can regenerate its heart, and medaka, which cannot.

Scientists at the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in heart regeneration therapy. By utilizing a protein found in zebrafish, known as Hmga1 ...

This rare glimpse into the beating heart of a zebrafish offers a view of how blood flows into and out of its heart. Zebrafish have a heart and a circulatory system similar to that of humans, but with ...

Preclinical drug evaluation, especially for cardiotoxicity, is a critical stage in the drug development process.

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, ...

The zebrafish is a good research stand-in for its fellow vertebrate, the human, because the two have many parts in common: brain, heart, liver, kidneys. And genome sequencing has shown that 84 ...

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, precise, and non-invasive ...

A novel system that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days-old fish quickly learn in the real world. A novel system ...

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 ...
