Highlights: NUZ-001 and its active metabolite NUZ-001 Sulfone demonstrated significant neuroprotective effects in a zebrafish model of Huntington's disease; Treatment prevented ha ...

Sharma et al. demonstrated a new analytical method to study memory training efficacy in zebrafish by means of an integrated ...

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.

While this small, striped fish is commonly found in home aquariums, zebrafish are also a valuable animal model for human disease due to fast growth, large clutch sizes and easy genetic manipulation.

West Australian researchers have made a breakthrough medical discovery in the fight against a rare genetic muscle disorder.

As a vertebrate, the zebrafish possesses many genes that perform the same or similar functions in mammals and therefore also in humans. Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in ...

In a study published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, Alexander and Dowling now show that their mutant zebrafish have weakened muscles and other symptoms that mirror human XMEA disease. With this simple ...

Although much has been learned about the molecular basis of these diseases, they are still incurable. To expedite discovery of new drugs for these diseases, our group studies zebrafish ...

The genetic disease is XMEA, ... While this small, striped fish is commonly found in home aquariums, zebrafish also are a valuable animal model for human disease due to fast growth, ...

Evolution is usually equated with advancement, but the most useful biological innovations aren’t always found in the “highest” organisms. Zebrafish, for example, can continually generate new neurons ...

Although several mouse models have been developed to investigate the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD), most of them are transgenic and, therefore, present disadvantages in terms of costs ...

Zebrafish Research at Purdue University. 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 ...
