During the first 72 hours in particular, extracellular vesicles—nanoparticles enclosed in cell membranes—play a significant ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in packaging, but their effects on organisms are unclear. Very little was known about how they affect blood cell development until now.

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in consumer products. The researchers found that nanoparticle exposure alters red ...

Yet, the zebrafish model joins us together ... and discovery of Bone Morphogenetic Protein signaling networks in Drosophila stem cells maintenance and embryo development. The second is developing new ...

The development steps that take one month for a human embryo are gone through by a zebrafish embryo in one day – an enormous time saving for scientists. The splendid colour of the adult fish starts to ...

The small size and optical transparence of zebrafish embryos and larvae greatly facilitate modern intravital microscopic phenotyping of these experimentally tractable laboratory animals.

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 ...

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role ...
