Preclinical drug evaluation, especially for cardiotoxicity, is a critical stage in the drug development process.

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles are widely used in packaging, but their effects on organisms are unclear. Very little was known ...

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 ...

A new study from USC Stem Cell scientists reveals how certain animals, such as zebrafish and lizards, can regenerate their hearing by reactivating dormant gene regulators. The discovery provides ...

A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, precise, and non-invasive ...

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 ...

Shah and colleagues take advantage of the presence of maternal and somatic ribosomes in zebrafish and confirm their differential expression during development. The authors convincingly show that ...

To do this, we study developmental gene expression, regulation, and function in three model organisms; lamprey, amphioxus, and zebrafish. Lamprey, a jawless vertebrate, is the most basal vertebrate ...

The small size and optical transparence of zebrafish embryos and larvae greatly facilitate modern intravital microscopic phenotyping of these experimentally tractable laboratory animals.
