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

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

Zebrafish have long contributed to biological and medical research, especially as a model for developmental and toxicological studies. Particularly useful attributes of zebrafish include: ex vivo ...

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 ...

Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...
