The glial-specific role of betaPix during cerebral blood vessel development has been revealed by establishing a new betaPix conditional trap allele in zebrafish.

As a vertebrate model organism, zebrafish has many unique advantages in developmental studies, regenerative biology, and disease modeling. However, tissue-specific gene knockout in zebrafish is ...

Previous studies have shown that protein expression of DOCK7 is increased in skeletal muscle biopsies from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), leading researchers from the University of ...

Nager syndrome (NS) is an extremely rare disease that causes developmental problems and anomalies in facial bone structures and limbs. While the causative gene is known, its underlying mechanisms ...

Niigata, Japan - Researchers from Brain Research Institute, Niigata University, Japan have revealed that environment influences social behaviours in autism. By using zebrafish that have a mutation in ...

Nager syndrome, or NS, is a rare genetic disease that affects the development of the face and limbs, usually causing anomalies in the bone structures of the jaws, cheeks, and hands. With a prevalence ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Can a small fish help identify possible treatments for an ultra-rare inherited disease found in an Alabama boy? The genetic disease is XMEA, which progressively weakens the muscles ...

Vertebrate heart formation depends on coordinated signaling among the first heart field, the second heart field (SHF), and neural crest cells (NCC).

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a widely used vertebrate animal for modeling genetic diseases by targeted editing strategies followed by gross phenotypic and biomarker characterization. While larval ...

Researchers from Brain Research Institute, Niigata University, Japan have revealed that environment influences social behaviors in autism. By using zebrafish that have a mutation in ube3a, a gene ...
