Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

Phenotypic screening has been one of the most effective approaches to drug discovery, but only a subset of disease-associated phenotypes can be modelled in cultured cells. Zebrafish exhibit a much ...

As a vertebrate, the zebrafish possesses many genes that perform the same or similar functions in mammals and therefore also in humans. Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in ...

Researchers have shown that zebrafish can provide genetic baz1b clues to the evolution of social behaviors in humans and domesticated species. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown ...

Alexandria Volkening was funded by the Mathematical Biosciences Institute and the National Science Foundation for this study under grants DMS-1148284, DGE-0228243, and DMS-1440386. Stripes are common ...

We provide you with embryos for your research. Developmental stage of embryos can be timed and coordinated precisely, down to the minute. We can perform male gamete collection for cryopreservation or ...

This story appears in the September 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine. For a creature that’s less than one and a half inches long, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) looms large in biomedical ...

Zebrafish. Humans and zebrafish are more alike than one might think, especially when it comes to embryonic development. In science, zebrafish (Danio rerio) often reveal principles that apply much more ...

Four fish are part of China's first in-orbit aquatic ecological research project. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Zebrafish ...

On the surface, humans and zebrafish couldn’t be more different. But they have an unexpected biological overlap that Weizmann Institute scientists and Sheba Medical Center physicians say helped them ...
