The zebrafish, a well-established model organism in basic biomedical research, has also become tractable for numerous applications in drug discovery, from phenotypic screens to testing for ...

The zebrafish has emerged as an important model system with which to investigate cancer, particularly for validating genomics data and for undertaking screens for oncogenes and drivers of tumour ...

Researchers identified that two cyclin D genes, ccndx and ccnd2a, independently regulate distinct stem and progenitor cell ...

A PhD candidate and Winter Park High School graduate discusses what losing science funding would hurt for them and the world ...

Analyses of zebrafish meioc mutants revealed that spermatogonial stem cells with low rRNA transcription caused by nucleolar Piwil1 require Meioc to keep Piwil1 in cytoplasm for the upregulation of ...

This is a well-written study that presents a solid genetic screen to identify regulators of adipose morphology and remodeling in zebrafish. The authors generated a rigorous screening platform based on ...

Zebrafish hair cells regrow via cyclin gene activity in specific cells, offering clues to future hearing restoration in humans.

Scientists discover zebrafish hair cells can regenerate without cell division, challenging decades of textbook biology and ...

Humans are a suggestible species. We see a friend yawn, we yawn. We see a stranger yawn, we yawn. We see an animated blob do something resembling yawning, we yawn. Heck, there’s a fair chance you’re ...

Zebrafish Research at Purdue University We are a group of Purdue faculty using zebrafish in our research. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease ...

Zebrafish have the rare ability to regenerate their heart muscle after major damage, unlike humans. Researchers have now discovered the gene circuit that accomplishes this — an embryonic circuit that ...

A baby zebrafish is just half the size of a pea. A recent look inside its transparent brain, however, offers clues to the far bigger mystery of how we remember—and how we forget. In an ...
