Using zebrafish "Avatars", an animal model developed by the Cancer Development and Innate Immune Evasion lab at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), led by Rita Fior, Mayra Martínez-López – a former PhD ...

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 ...

Dr. Jason Berman looking at a zebrafish model on the computer screen. New research shows that pre-clinical zebrafish models are an effective tool to help guide clinical decision-making in real time ...

The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is now home to a new zebrafish research facility. Researchers will use ...

The authors provide valuable findings showing that GM-CSF prevents the loss of ILC3 populations during gut inflammation and inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine production. They combine a preclinical ...

Behind the closed doors of a modern research lab, rows of small tanks glow softly under controlled lights. Inside them swim ...

MicroRNA-184 (miR-184) mutations have been previously tied to inherited anterior segment dysgenesis, potentially causing cataracts and keratoconus. To elucidate the involvement of miR-184 in ocular ...

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

Given that the developmental processes of zebrafish facial structure is similar to human, they can be leveraged as a low-cost and readily available animal model for exploring the underlying molecular ...
