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 toxicity.

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 ...

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

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and ...

Zebrafish develop cancer that is histologically and genetically similar to that of humans and it can develop spontaneously, after mutagen exposure or through transgenesis. Large-scale transgenesis ...

Zebrafish can regrow hearing cells we can't, and scientists have just found two genes that may explain how. This discovery ...

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 ...

Researchers identify specific genes involved in sensory hair cell regrowth in zebrafish, potentially informing hearing loss ...

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

Zebrafish have the rare ability to regenerate their heart muscle after major damage, unlike humans. Researchers have now ...

FLAME (zebraFish LAb MEeting) Five research groups (Deng, Leung, Suter, Umulis and Zhang) have a joint lab meeting called FLAME. We meet every Friday. Our students take turns to present their research ...

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 ...
