When a zebrafish's heart is damaged, it can fully restore its function within 60 days. "We don't understand why some species can regenerate their hearts after injury while others cannot," explains ...

Examples of the animals are roundworms (Caenorhabditis elegans), fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), zebrafish (Danio rerio), rodents (Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus), and non-human primates ...

The paper presents a streamlined new approach for functional validation of genes known to underlie fragile bone disorders in a relatively high throughput, using CRISPR-mediated knockouts and a number ...

However, the cost and time required to establish mouse animal models are high. The existing zebrafish model can solve this problem well. Zebrafish is an animal model with great application prospects ...

Using a virtual reality setup, the team fixed the ketamine-treated larval zebrafish fish in place and showed it different visual patterns. The first 10 seconds show the fish at rest. When the fish ...

Through a series of solid and technically superb live imaging experiments to directly visualize intraflagellar transport in various zebrafish ciliated tissues, the authors unveil the surprising ...
