In the experiments with zebrafish embryos, when this PAPC is not excluded, the cells do not move to the appropriate location, preventing the notochord from elongating to its proper length. The ...

CISPA researcher Sarath Sivaprasad, together with Hui-Po Wang and Mario Fritz from CISPA and other colleagues from HIPS, has developed an AI system that can automatically detect abnormalities in ...

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have emerged as a premier vertebrate model system for investigating fundamental processes in developmental biology and neurobiology. Their optical transparency during embryonic ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a major public health concern, particularly due to the severe brain development defects it can cause in fetuses when pregnant women are infected. One of the most serious ...

New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

Naturally occurring haploids are predominantly documented in plants; the first report dates to 1923, when haploid individuals were identified in the Jimson Weed. Haploidy also occurs in certain animal ...

Hagedorn, Mary M., Kleinhans, F. W., Artemov, D., and Pilatus, U. 1998. "Characterization of a major permeability barrier in the zebrafish embryo." Biology of ...

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...
