Zebrafish have genetic characteristics that make it possible to rebuild neural networks after severe injuries.

One of the most popular animal models in research is the Zebrafish, a tropical fish which is native to the rice paddies of Asia. Complex ethical concerns surrounding human testing have resulted in the ...

Age-related macular degeneration affects 11 million people in the U.S., and that number is expected to nearly double by 2050. Now researchers are looking into how a unique characteristic of a ...

When making decisions that are important to the species' survival, zebrafish choose mating over fleeing from a threat. This decision, different compared to that of some other species, appears to be ...

Research has revealed the neurotoxic mechanism of nicotine at environmentally relevant concentrations in zebrafish embryos. By integrating computational predictions with multi-omics experimental ...

Professor Bruce Draper uses zebrafish as a model to study development. Work from his lab in the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences shows how certain genes are linked to sex change in fish and ...

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 ...

This transcript was created by a computer and edited by a volunteer. Dave Miller: From the Gert Boyle Studio at OPB, this is Think Out Loud. I’m Dave Miller. We turn now to new insights into scoliosis ...

To answer how animals made the transition from sea to land, scientists have traditionally looked to the fossil record. But in the past 30 years, scientists have searched for changes in genes that can ...
