Specifically, zebrafish larvae (a freshwater fish that belongs to the minnow family) can taste oxygen levels in the water using the same cells they use to taste their food. Those same cells also ...

A recent study conducted at the University of Ottawa reveals that some fish use their tastebuds to measure oxygen levels in water. Specifically, zebrafish larvae (a freshwater fish that belongs to ...

However, whether BCAS2 has other functions within the nucleus remains largely unknown. Here, we show that BCAS2 is essential for primitive hematopoiesis in zebrafish and mouse embryos. The activation ...

One advantage of this model is that around 70% of the genes found in zebrafish (Danio rerio) are also found in humans. The findings from the zebrafish model can therefore likely be transferred to ...

Researchers are turning to zebrafish to unlock the secrets of place cells, which play a crucial role in forming mental maps of space, social networks, and abstract relationships. Until now ...

Brand’s team has studied zebrafish, an animal naturally capable of photoreceptor regeneration. The researchers have demonstrated that regenerated photoreceptors are as good as original ones and regain ...
