The zebrafish is a good research stand-in for ... Because embryos are transparent and develop outside the mother’s body, scientists can manipulate genes to model human diseases and directly ...

Some have already succeeded: in 2007, Richard White, a biologist at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, used careful breeding techniques to create a transparent adult zebrafish named ...

Researchers are taking advantage of small, transparent zebrafish embryos and larvae—and a special strain of see-through adults—to understand the development and spread of cancer. From frogs to dogs ...

Larval zebrafish are an invaluable tool for neuroscientists, who use the tiny, transparent fish to probe how the brain controls behavior, but it's been difficult for scientists to study learning ...

1.41 billion base pairs The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely used genetic, developmental, and disease model organism because of the near-effortlessness of imaging transparent zebrafish embryos and ...

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

The splendid colour of the adult fish starts to appear from the third week; the zebrafish larvae, in contrast, are almost completely transparent. Using microscopes, researchers can therefore look into ...

3. Impact of any genetic mutation or drug treatment is easy to see The transparent nature of zebrafish embryos and larvae allows for non-invasive observation of genetic mutations or drug effects, ...

The preclinical evaluation of drug-induced cardiotoxicity is an important stage in the drug development process; however, ...

"Zebrafish larvae are particularly suitable for our studies because they are almost completely transparent, allowing us to observe the development of their inner organs," explains Mulzer.
