Zebrafish larvae may possess some primitive counting ability just days after hatching. Several animals, including honeybees and salamanders, have been shown to have some form of numerical skill.

– A team of scientists will study if zebrafish, a popular aquarium fish whose genetic and physiological makeup is similar to humans, could unlock new treatments for kidney stones and gout. The tiny ...

If a zebrafish’ spine is injured, the damaged neurons respond by dramatically changing their cellular functions. They take on a new and central role in orchestrating the very precise events that ...

They discovered that the protein Hmga1 plays a key role in heart regeneration in zebrafish. In mice, this protein was able to restore the heart by activating dormant repair genes without causing ...

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 ...

Pictured here is a group of cells moving toward its correct final position in the tail of a forming zebrafish embryo. Cell membranes are green and the cell nuclei red.

The four zebrafish arrived at the Tiangong space station aboard the Shenzhou 18 spacecraft on April 26, along with astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu. The fish live in a tank that forms ...

Zebrafish Research at Purdue University. 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 ...

“Zebrafish breed really well,” said Dr. Grainger. “We can get over 100 offspring in a single mating pair, whereas with mice, you only get 6 or 7 babies in a single pair.

Both modified and non-modified versions of the flies and fish were exposed to mercury. The results were impressive. After three days, the genetically modified fruit fly larvae had 83% less ...

Emerging contaminants from rubber tires N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and its oxidation product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ)-are raising new red flags for aquatic ecosystems.

Four zebrafish swim inside a tank aboard China's Tiangong Space Station. (Image credit: CNSA) China's Tiangong space station orbits Earth at an altitude between 217 and 280 miles (340 to 450 ...
