Zebrafish have emerged as a vital vertebrate model system that bridges developmental biology and behavioural neuroscience. Their genetic tractability, optical transparency during early development and ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have published an atlas of zebrafish development, detailing the gene expression programs that are activated within nearly every cell type during the ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Microbiologist Karen Guillemin considered many universities when she was searching for her first faculty position 25 years ago. In the end, she came ...

This Zebrafish and Drosophila laboratory is a significant achievement in the field of modern biomedical research, which will ...
