How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

MIC-Drop allows researchers to rapidly evaluate the functions of hundreds of genes in a single experiment. Zebrafish—small, fast-growing creatures who share many of the same genes as humans—are ...

Zebrafish eggs contain a sunscreen called gadusol that protects the growing embryo from harmful rays. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are damaging. To shield against this, vertebrates produce a ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...

Just in time for Heart Month, the laboratory of University de Montréal medical professor and CHU Sainte-Justine researcher Rubén Marín‑Juez has unveiled the first comprehensive atlas of coronary ...
