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 find that close interactions between the mechanical properties of tissues and biochemical signalling between cells ...

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.

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...

Researchers confirm using zebrafish that if a certain gene is not excluded when vertebrate embryos are developing, the notochord will not elongate properly, resulting in a shortened form. Can a single ...

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

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 ...

Congenital heart defects (CHD) occur in 1 in every 100 babies born daily in the United States of America. Although CHD can be surgically repaired, it has been shown to complicate heart health with ...

A new advance in animal husbandry involving a popular aquarium fish should speed the pace of discovery in laboratory studies ...
