Neuronal degeneration leading to visual impairment or blindness remains a critical challenge in human health. Unlike humans, ...

And genome sequencing has shown that 84 percent of the genes that cause disease in humans are also found in zebrafish. Since University of Queensland cell biologist Ben Hogan began studying ...

Zebrafish, with their transparent bodies, rapid development, and genetic similarities to humans, are emerging as a powerful model for high-throughput screening. However, the existing phenotyping ...

In the longest presidential address to Congress in modern U.S. history, Trump spoke in celebratory mode, barely addressed inflation and devoted only a few minutes of his speech to foreign policy ...

Further validation of these fish as a model for human disease is the 70 per cent similarity between the human and zebrafish genome, which helped shift research from basic science towards medical ...

Disease genes are usually discovered in humans and then studied in animal models, but this study did the opposite. “It’s an elegant example of ‘reverse evolutionary genetics.’” Kuwada’s team bred a ...

Zebrafish share a high degree of sequence and functional homology with mammals, including humans. Due to the conservation of cell biological and developmental processes across all vertebrates, studies ...

We use different techniques in our research projects. Yet, the zebrafish model joins us together. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling ...

A novel system that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days-old fish quickly learn in the real world. A novel system ...

We are a group of Purdue faculty using zebrafish in our research. Our research interest covers a wide variety of topics, including cancer, development, disease modeling, drug discovery, immunology, ...

I also have national and International leadership roles through membership of REF 2021 sub-panel 1, and having been principal organiser of Neutrophil 2021 and the Zebrafish Disease Models meeting 2022 ...
