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

Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in a similar form in humans. Over 80 percent of genes that are known to trigger disease in humans are also present in this fish. The ...

N ager syndrome, or NS, is a rare genetic disease that affects the development of the face and limbs, usually causing ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sheffield now houses over 760 genetically engineered strains, including visually detectable transgenic lines. Further validation of these fish as a model for human disease is the 70 per cent ...

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 ...

Using a unique, zebrafish-based phenotypic screening platform ... could improve the treatment of chronic and undertreated human diseases such as obesity.” EraCal continues to expand its pipeline ...

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 ...
