Unlike humans, zebrafish possess a remarkable ability to regenerate retinal neurons after injury. This capacity provides a unique opportunity to explore potential therapies for human vision loss.

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 ...

Mental health affects human’s way of thinking, feeling, and acting and represents a worldwide critical concern. Both environmental and genetic factors can impair individual’s mental health increasing ...

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules whose role in gene regulation and association with certain ...

“With 98% of human drug targets identified to date have orthologues in zebrafish, this versatile eukaryote model gives us a new handle on characterizing the regulatory circuits that control ...

Transgenic animals continue to play an essential role in many aspects of zebrafish research, including the development of disease models. The most widely used system for zebrafish transgenesis is the ...

An environmental assessment study has found that the Klip River, which winds through Soweto and Lenasia and feeds into the ...

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 ...

Zebrafish are unassuming and undemanding. Almost every child knows that – at least any child that has kept fish in an aquarium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, these fish have been one of the ...
