Nasevicius and Ekker obtained 8 zebrafish embryos (see inset on preceding page) that phenocopy mutants generated by chemical mutagenesis. With one exception, full penetrance of the phenotype ...

The key to understanding vertebrate development and the origins of human birth defects may lie with the fishes--that is, with the zebrafishes (Danio rerio). Using zebrafish mutants produced primarily ...

The embryo of a wild type zebrafish above the embryo of banp mutant zebrafish, both four days post fertilization (dpf). The mutant embryo has smaller eyes compared to the wild type (shown with the ...

we undertook the first large-scale and systematic collection of Medaka mutants in this project. Medaka fish is the second vertebrate species after zebrafish employed for a mass screening of ...

Swimming in a fishbowl 380 kilometers above Earth, they flipped, spun, and struggled to find their bearings — until they adapted. For 43 days in 2024, four zebrafish orbited China’s Tiangong space ...

A: Expression of zebrafish aipl1b gene at 3 dpf (left ... B: Microscopic images of wild-type and gosh mutant retinas at 3 months-post-fertilization. In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer ...

Professor Sun Yonghua (front) shows zebrafish disease models to members of his research team in the laboratory at the China Zebrafish Resource Center in Wuhan, Hubei province. CHINA DAILY The ...

she worked with him to map a gene that eventually was linked to myofibrillar myopathies (MFM), a group of diseases resulting in progressive muscle weakness that is characterized by protein clumping ...

More importantly, injecting mutant zebrafish with human-derived FGF8 significantly reduced NS features, hinting at a ...

We found that in zebrafish, the functions of human VHL have been split over two genes, which we named vhl and vhl-like (vll). Interestingly, we found that the fish vhl gene has an important role in ...

A drug commonly used to treat glaucoma has been shown in zebrafish and mice to protect ... of the disease in zebrafish and mice carrying the mutant forms of tau that cause human dementias.
