The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is an essential model organism in biomedical research, favored due to its genetic similarity to humans and cost-effective maintenance. With approximately 75% of its genome ...

UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers identified a gene circuit in zebrafish that allows heart regeneration after injury. Using ...

UB researchers are studying if zebrafish, a popular aquarium fish whose genetic and physiological makeup is similar to humans, might be key to unlocking new treatments for kidney stones and gout. The ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a powerful vertebrate model for studying kidney development and regeneration due ...

If a zebrafish’ spine is injured, the damaged neurons respond by dramatically changing their cellular functions. They take on a new and central role in orchestrating the very precise events that ...

In a study published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, Alexander and Dowling now show that their mutant zebrafish have weakened muscles and other symptoms that mirror human XMEA disease. With this simple ...

A zebrafish model with VMA21 gene mutations replicates key features of X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA), including impaired autophagy, muscle weakness, and organ pathology.

University at Buffalo researcher Viviana Monje and colleagues awarded $1.2 million grant to study how popular aquarium fish ...
