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 ...

Nanoplastics in water hindered oxygen transport in zebrafish, underscoring their toxic impact on aquatic health.

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

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in packaging, but their effects on organisms are unclear. Very little was known ...

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 ...

The preclinical evaluation of drug-induced cardiotoxicity is an important stage in the drug development process; however, traditional methods for screening drug candidates, such as cardiomyocyte-based ...

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

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 ...
